Neither do I. I gain satisfaction from voting for the candidate that most accurately reflects my views on the role of gov't.

I also sleep well at night not trying to justify my vote for the guy that locked down the country over the CORONA virus and oversaw the largest transfer of wealth in our country's history with the subsequent 'stimulus' they passed. But hey! At least your guy made an impact! Of course, I'd call it a crater, but whatever......

Go look at some of the shenanigans Liberals/Dems have pulled to get the Green Party tossed off the ballot in swing states. Green got around 1% of the vote in 2016 and they know that share goes to Biden.

So much for "will of the people"...

That is personal gratification.

I have no use for that.

I disagree with both of those actions, but I’m willing to compromise and choose the lesser of two evils.

I don’t need to justify it to anyone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Libertarians are for open borders, but also for zero entitlements. You can't have one without getting rid of the other.

I'm for closed borders and for zero entitlements.

The Libertarian Party convention used to be covered by Cspan. But I can't find it. The last one had 99% males in the crowd so that might be an issue.

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.


Huh? We are still dropping bombs daily. Without congressional approval I may add.

So nope

Anyone who understands basic economics will have a hard time voting for Trump. Just as they would for Obama or bush.

The only place I've seen anything about them was on my voting screen the other day. Finally found Trump on the third page.

Isn't that sorta like saying "anyone who understands basic Conservatism will have a hard time voting for Trump"? But isn't it more complicated than that these days, too complicated to wrap it up in a tidy package like that?

How are you going to sleep if the socialists take over every branch of the federal government?
