There's nothing to suggest that anything will change if a 3rd party candidate gets elected because even if their platforms are a massive break from the Ds and Rs that doesn't mean they will be able to implement said platform or won't diverge from it once in power. So instead of trying to implement change through voting, I think folks should try the direct action methods that really got us the 8 hour workday and civil rights protections instead of relying on statecraft. So I disagree with the assumption that a 3rd party rising is necessarily a good thing as well as the merits of electoralism, but I have a few problems with your arguments here specfic about the LP. First, I think a big reason Johnson (and the Green's hippie grandma Stein) did comparatively well is because of how **** Hillary and Donnie were. However a plurality of Americans didn't bother to vote in the first place and I think that trend will increase more than support for third parties. To this I think that success for such parties hinges upon the lack of likeability of major candidates which can and will fluctuate, so the 5% goal makes sense as a party but isn't much of an incentive to people who aren't already aligned with such a goal. Secondly, I frequently see assertions how such and such ideologies and platforms will attract a large amount of folks but I don't really see much evidence of any of it. While there's likely large groupings of virtually any ideology, relative to actual population they're marginal. Personally I've met very few "consistent libertarians", most of who called themselves "libertarians" ended up drifting towards one of the Rs or Ds, and of the rest maybe half of them went on to become white nationalists (they were 4chan types to begin with). This is just personal experience, but combined with lack of evidence for a good amount of support I don't believe there's a sleeping libertarian mass anymore than I think there's a sleeping Green mass. Lastly, I as an outsider I think parties in general are a joke and the LP trying to be more serious is hurting it. I'm fairly young for this forum and I've only been eligible to vote in 2 presidential elections (3 in November) and to my memory the LP has run a failed Republican both times. This creates the problem of not really distinguishing itself as a separate entity and was just the vote for Republicans unhappy with Romney or Trump. Comparatively the current champions of each party are a gameshow host known for bull****ing and a guy who can't remember what he said two minutes ago, and if that ain't clown **** than I don't know what is. IMO the libertarians would have more success in getting that 5% by running a bat**** entertainer than they would a "serious" candidate. I hope none of this comes off as too harsh or mean spirited because that's not my intention.

The Libertarian Party, like all parties who ain't Republican or Democrat, is never going anywhere because in addition to the lockout created by the main two parties and media its strategy is to boost party hacks or Republican/Democrat dropouts that bore folks instead of some crazy mother****er like Vermin Supreme who would get attention. This strategy will ends up reinforcing the image of the various "third parties" as knockoffs of one of the two big ones with more or less focus on particular issues rather than a genuine alternative (which does have truth to it). Voting isn't going to change anything and putting pressure outside the ballot box is more likely to get people what they want than supporting a demented creep or some party hack in the hopes next cycle will be better.

You're not going to get an unbiased response from anyone because everyone has biases. A PCC bureaucrat, a refugee living in Miami who came from money, and regular jose who has to work a normal job probably won't agree on what would be best for Cuba.

I just realized I've been here for 8 years now. Huh. In political news the feds can now monitor people without a warrant. Freedom at its best.

The Libertarian Party should just say **** it and run Joe Exotic or the guy who did a striptease on stage.

As the supposed internet edgelord bedwetter, I can say that sending in SWAT to enforce every warrant would probably make me attack the police more rather than less, because there would inevitably be examples of needlessly dead bodies to attack them for. I'll stop clapping back at the guy whose previous account had to be monitored for objectionable content to please the mods and clear up the thread.

That's a strange fetish, but I suppose it explains the cop cope.

When I was told video games would rot my brain, I wasn't expecting that it would be because of reading massive cope on a videogame forum in support of cops who killed someone after being unable to locate the right address.

I would.

I would probably get fired if I ****ed up as badly as those cops at any job I've had since I started waging. That there is higher standards for burger flippers than people who have the legal authority to kill people is ridiculous.

Well they are synonyms.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/mitch-mcconnell-moves-to-expand-bill-barrs-surveillance-powers Nothing says freedom like expressly allowing the feds to keep tabs on you without a warrant. Which they were already doing, but now they have a rubber stamp.

I'm pretty sure we'd get the police shooting us before hitting 5% participation.

I guess, I just it's likely the statists will decide their is a point when health is less important than profits and seek to reopen, which is already happening where I live. When that happens in bongistan we can hope at the cuckold takes revenge on the doctor.

Look deep into those cold dead eyes and see into the abyss itself.

If they both got the rona it's fine, if they don't there's always after quarantine. Either way, let them fight (eventually).

Given the general consensus of this forum on the new treks, this will probably end the same way. Personally I think both should have died a long time ago and are being kept alive by milking nostalgia and old fans hatewatching, but I'm some **** on the internet so what do I know. I think Waititi should get around to directing that live action Akira he was attached to.

Pete Buttigieg is like if the Bank of America pride float became a person.

lmao imagine getting cucked and corona'd by one guy. If the husband doesn't beat the doctor's ass he's a failure.

Funny Valentine was even better.

Well one is largely a direct benefit to a certain class of people, while the other interferes in the short term profits of a business model built around not providing services and would negatively impact the same group of folks the former benefits.

That's a pretty big least.

I'm sure all seven "never Trump" republicans will vote for Amash and ensure Trump wins this years farce.

They've been discontinued. Maybe he'll reccomend Carl's jr chicken nuggets or the offerings of some other fast food company that donates to him.
