So many of them seemed to have made some noise in at least the last 3 elections.

Anyone know of any notable names, besides Kanye West?

Jorgenson shite on the concept of libertarianism when she tried to pander to BLM with her “we must be anti-racist” tweet.

When did this happen?

A third party candidate hasn't received a relevant amount of votes since 1996

So why not vote Trump instead of throwing your vote away. Trump has been the first POTUS in a long time not to start a war, made peace deals, and brought a lot of troops home.

How many wars has Trump started?

I’ll answer for you.

0

He has actively been trying to end them.

The whole concept of Libertarianism is based off people being individuals. Libertarians can't be racist by definition. Given the BLM movement, not sure that I consider the statement out of place.


I'll be voting Libertarian again as usual. I'll let the majority of my countrymen 'compromise' vote us into oblivion with the idiots that keep getting the R & D nominations.

She’s not even a real libertarian. She and many of her supporters believe in socialism and implementing more socialist ideas. Makes no sense to me. I tell my “libertarian” friends that I’m voting for Trump because he’s the most libertarian of all the candidates

Why would you not vote for the candidate with an actual chance to win who embodies the anti-war principle the most? You’re throwing a vote away and running the risk of helping put in a candidate who has been and will be purchased by the MIC. Trump may not be the ideal libertarian but he’s a lot closer than Biden.

It is completely out of place for any “libertarian” to ever utter the word “must”.

She isn’t a libertarian.

Well, let's look at it this way, she FAR more Libertarian than Trump or Biden. I have yet to agree with a Libertarian candidate on 100% of the issues, but it beats the 50% agreement I have with Trump and the 20% agreement I have with Biden.

Unfortunately that consistent with Libertarian views. If they want to be consistent, all Libertarians should be for open borders.

That's why I am Conservative. It is the government's job to maintain law and order, not back off and let us destroy ourselves.

The problem I have is that Liberals have completely redefined what law and order means.

We can disagree on this.

I’ll take the lesser of two evils over the personal and, for a majority of libertarians, social clout for having voted for someone who will never have an impact.

I voted for Johnson one year because it was a general belief that he may have enough support to reach that needed percentage for federal campaign money.

He didn’t.

If another candidate who is actually a libertarian (Jo Isn’t) comes around that may reach that point, I’ll consider it again.

Until then, I gain nothing from personal gratification or social clout.

Gary Johnson ruined third party candidates when he stuck out his tongue while answering a question during a legitimate interview.

Dude just stuck it out, kept it out and tried to answer the question.
