keep seeing more and more about this lady and some friends pushing her.

She wants to defund the boarder wall

She wants free and open trade

She wants free Healthcare

But runs on wanting small govt

How the frig does that make sense?

Also, she's using Hilary Clinton's, "I'm with her" slogan.

In my opinion, these people I see weren't voting for Trump anyways, but they're trying to influence their friends saying there is more than 2 choices. No shite!, every election there are always more than two choices, but it is a 2 party system. Libertarians IMO are just as loony as progs.

Libertarians are a bunch of wolves in sheep clothing. They are closet democrats who don’t want to publicly admit it.

You know it’s an election year when libertarian fantasy land returns to everyone’s face book pages

Yeah, this is a classical liberal, small government stance. Of course, this should be the last theoretical domino to fall from a policy standpoint because it first necessitates slashing welfare in order to stop the wrong kind of immigrants flowing here.

The horror!

Link? Pretty sure this is false.

Not this one. I would consider myself a libertarian and I fricking hate the Democratic party. I agree with them on almost nothing.

I think you're probably thinking of the incognito Democrats that run around this board pretending they're libertarians but clearly arent. Theres a few of them from Texas that post here.

This is definitely false. Her stance:

"We can reduce the cost of health care 75% by allowing real price competition, and by substantially reducing government and insurance company paperwork. This will make health care affordable for most Americans, while also reducing the cost of legacy programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the VA.”

Third parties should have more air time than they get but the right and left will never let them into the party on stage.

The libertarians have an issue because of their core beliefs they end up allowing strippers and guys wearing boots on their heads a platform. This of course makes them look like a non serious party. Of course if you try to reform this you now go against libertarian core beliefs.

Jo Jorgensen is for open borders, unfair trade, and government funded welfare for illegal immigrants and the working class that will lose jobs as a result. Small government my arse; just another typical Democrat lying to useful idiots.

Yeah. Who knows if the libertarians will ever field a candidate who can actually take the White House (although I've seen one analysis done of Trump's actions since taking office and it's conclusion is that Trump's politics are closest in line with the libertarian party), so until such time that the libertarian party can begin making headway on a national level, I find my own views to be far, far closer in line with Republicans than Democrats.

She will be 3rd in her own state. Add this to massive mail in voting in multiple states, Biden will clean up and it will hurt Trump.

Libertarians had their shot in 2016 to become a legitimate 3rd Party and blew it by nominating Gary Johnson.

Okay, let me correct myself here. She doesn't want free Healthcare, she wants to eliminate single payer Healthcare and have Healthcare for all. You cannot have Healthcare for all and it not be not free. Essentially it is a promise in the eyes that see it as free, because they don't understand how Healthcare works.

fricking this. In 2016 with two of the worst candidates every presented libertarians had a chance to get a foothold. Hell even getting to 5% of the vote would open them up for public campain assistance this cycle.

Then a nude man ran on stage at their convention
Gary Johnson whiffed horribly in a few interview and was probably high while giving them.

this country need a third option bad but damnit if the third options don't keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Ron Paul was the Libertarian Party's best shot and the establishment railroaded him off the ticket. Pissed me off royally.
