Who's Gary johnson? Is that some sort of sex term the kids are using nowadays?

how does it feel to work for the Ross Perot of this generation

Gary Johnson was the two term governor of New Mexico. He's currently running for the LP nomination for President.

Actually pretty inspiring. He's a down to earth guy, more than you'd expect.

Why do you want open borders?

Will Gary Johnson hop on the Trump train?

Because our economy can directly benefit from open immigration. It's illogical to keep hard working people from coming to work. Business benefits from it.

Johnson believes in Open Borders. He is anathema to the American Nation State. Anyone who supports that idiot is either a shill, or criminally ignorant.

Screw him, he stole the spotlight from ron paul and expects people to support him. I've never liked him and I do not consider him a true libertarian. We finally have the chance to have a redpilled president; and now you globalist koch cock suckers think you can steal it.

Laughable!

Will Donald Trump chill out with the openly statist policies?

double edged sword there, you get hard workers and you also get scum coming over

if you hate america so much then fucking get out. cuck traitors will be gassed in the maga-camps.

Why are you a leftist enabling anarchist? People like you are partly responsible for the insanity of the left go to hell.

Governor Johnson actually dropped out of the Republican nomination in '12 to defer to Dr. Paul, and only pushed his campaign in the LP when the Republican's screwed Dr. Paul at the RNC.

Translation, "being a corporate slave is good"

What was it like to join the Communist party?

>Business benefits from it
And I suffer from increased crime rates and lowered educational standards. But I forgot, I should just make more money so I can live away from them. Then America can truly be like Brazil, with walled off favelas and everything.

DUDE WEED LMAO?

There's definitely negative people that come over. I just don't think that blocking out the good is ok just to prevent that. Punishing the whole class for a few student's bad behavior is foolish.

Fucking kike shill sold out the party to the neocohens to spoil Trumps campaign, off yourself you faggot

Austin Petersen is the better option between him and Johnson, Johnson is too liberal for my tastes.

What is the logical response to the civilizational suicide of the left? I'm all ears for genuine solutions not anarchist/libertarian nonsense.

The Socialist Party is that way >>>>>

>taco niggers
>people
damn they got to you good.

This is fake but hell I'll bite. I'm pretty Libertarian but I'm voting for Trump.

One thing, why is Gary seemingly so pro-immigration? Not even being a "racist xD" but Libertarianism will never work if we allow mass amounts of immigration. Brown people love voting Democrat.

DUDE

Trump or civil war.

Why did he pick a blatantly Anti-Gun VP?

AP's behavior on social media and lack of popular media recognition will put the LP back to the vote numbers it was at in '08.

Yeah, Gary Johnson is a poser. He's an open borders guy and admitted he would force more homo cake issues via the government.

I know many Sanders supporters who would be willing to "settle" for a libertarian such as Johnson. What do you think of this? Is it odd that they'd go from socialism to libertarianism like that?

No one says immigration will completely stop. No one says even low income workers wouldn't be allowed in, albeit on work visas and not handed citizenship as soon as they birth a child on our soil.

>Punishing the whole class for a few student's bad behavior is foolish
And making over simplified comparisons is foolish as well. These people are culturally different, visually distinct, and often don't speak English. An increase in "diversity" outside of some ridiculous talking point at a college class, is by almost every metric a decrease in quality of life for everyone.

Is Gary Johnson high all the time as he seems?

How do you reconcile open immigration with our current welfare system?

Whats the story with MacAffee?

Is he like the "trump" of the libertarian party?

Bill Welds facebook page actually addressed this in a post today. Go check it out!

Where are you going to hide when my crew hunts down libertarians for handing the election to Hillary by taking votes from Republicans like they did during the Senate election in Virginia?

Not at all. One thing I've found with many Sanders and Trump supporters is that they don't support them for polices, but for the fact that seem to be against the establishment. Johnson can appeal to that.

In all formally conducted polls, Johnson takes more votes from Clinton than Trump friend.

Dramatic reductions in our current welfare system as well as directly addressing the automatic increase in mandatory spending for it each fiscal year would go a long way.

Yeah, it's a real coin flip for voters to choose between a Clinton and Johnson

John McAfee is an interesting character. I actually like the man, he's got some real merit to how he does things. But he's not my first choice.

So it's okay to force Jews to bake gay Nazi cakes because a few whiny leftests cried when a religious couple refused to bake for a gay wedding but it's okay to just let loose the poor, undereducated, unskilled workers to come to our nation, who will eventually vote for "gimmedats" as citizens, if not their children who will be granted citizenship by virtue of being born here.

This isn't the 20th century. We don't need as human labor now that robots can think for themselves and work with little human interaction. Where are these underemployed people supposed to do to provide for themselves and their families? They will vote for more welfare if they can't find jobs. They will vote for education subsidize because they can't afford higher education. These people, like most people in the United States, citizen or permanent resident, can not afford to accumulate capital because of immediate expenses. They don't have the money to not only pay the bills and feed their children and "pick themselves from their bootstraps" to start that business, invest in financial markets, or go attend higher education.

obviously you know that will never happen though. I'm libertarian, I voted for ron paul in 2012. It's not like my vote matters much here in Minnesota but I'll be voting trump come election time.

Unlike 2012, will Gary Johnson be able to crack 1% in November 2016?

I believe so, should he get his choice of VP. Unfortunately the LP doesn't let their nominee pick his own, they need to also be selected by delegates. Weld can bring a lot to the table, but there's some pushback on him.

What's the Libertarian party doing for House and Senate elections, as well as State legislative elections?
Surely y'all know that Johnson has a snowball's chance in hell even this year, but smaller parties could pick up seats in Congress and in States. And yet I so rarely hear anything about libertarian candidates there.

>Gary Johnson

Who?

I wanted McAfee. Why didn't he win?

Why don't you libertarians get that less government and less welfare is never gonna happen especially when more jobs are doomed to be replaced by AI and machines?

Um...two white males on the same ticket? Hello, it's 2016!

The LP regularly fields candidates for these positions. They actually hold some state level positions. But anything federal is a horribly uphill battle for ballot access. In PA for example, someone running for a congressional district as an R or D needs 500 signatures from registered voters to appear on the ballot. Any third party or independent needs 3500. All of this needs to happen in a short amount of time. Most candidates don't have the manpower or resources to pull that off, plus the signatures are typically challenged in court.

>CURRENT YEAR

John McAfee still has a fair chance. Our nomination is next week!

Why do you want to divide the republican vote and get Hillary the nomination? Do you want a war with Russia? Do you want freedoms removed?

Do you know anything about Jason Lewis who is running for congress here in Minnesota? He used to be a radio host for a number of years and I would listen to him everyday. He is a libertarian but he's running for the republican spot

Who?

Why are you faggots trying to ruin America by helping Hillary get elected?

I don't, but I wish him the best!

In formal polling, Johnson takes more votes from Clinton than Trump!

Libertarians actually believe polls!

Protip: These polls that put Gary Johnson at 11% is only a sign of the dissatisfaction of the candidates in both parties and it is a way for these voters to signal that dissatisfaction. This does not mean that (a) these voters would actually go out and vote for Gary Johnson or (b) these people wouldn't suck it up and vote for either Trump or Clinton to vote against the greater evil. It would make more sense to predict on voting behavior based on demographics: race/ethnicity/, religious affiliation/lack thereof, and, more important, socioeconomic status.

Take Kansas for example. Trump was set to win Kansas but he lost ever county but one.

According to our final polls-plus forecast, Donald Trump had a 51% chance of winning the Kansas caucuses.

Kansas has a White Evangelical majority, is economically tied to agricultural, and, despite the free market rhetoric, is dependent on government subsidies to sustain the agricultural industry, and has a large population reliant on social security and medicaid. Rick Santorum won in the 2012 Republican presidential primary election. He was the Christian candidate who understood the hardships of rural life and appealed to the needs of the elderly.

Rick Santorum: 15,290 votes (51.2%)
Mitt Romney: 6,250 votes (20.9%)

Look, the whole endgame of uniting the human race under one banner and creed is fine and all but we are not at a point in history to FORCE globalism.

The libertarian, by definition, believes in free-market economics, private property, national independence and the absence of spoliation from governments or foreign entities.

Those who favor massive immigration don't support private property since they don't recognize the US territory as the property of the American people.

AMERICA. FIRST.

He "quit" while on the air. It was obviously staged but it was pretty funny. He was the only conservative radio host I listened to, I'm still pissed that he quit.

I haven't looked it up before but actually it looks like the incumbent republican chose not to run this year, so it looks like he might actually have a shot. If he wins keep an eye out for this guy!

Gary Johnson is a weed smoking hippie degenerate. If I'm voting third party it's not going to be them.

On his issues page, Gary Johnson claims he is going to balance America's awful budget without increasing tax, but he doesn't say where the money is coming from. If tax is going to be lowered (as he indicates on that page) where is the money coming from?

Also, if businesses are pretty much completely free, won't healthcare get even more expensive? With so many Americans lacking coverage (not just dindus) won't this wind up being really bad for a lot of people? I'm sure that free healthcare for the poor will be up on the chopping block, and with so little regulation, surely companies will scale back on offering expensive healthcare with their jobs.

This whole thing just seems to hinge on the hope that everyone left to their own devices will be fair and work to the betterment of the country.

I'm sure the Green Party could your help to try to catch up in ballot access!

You don't need a trip. This board has IDs.

What is morale like? I can't imagine it is fun to run in a race that you are guaranteed to not win, essentially throwing away campaign money.

She could have been really cute if she lost all that weight.

Ugh feminism is an enabling device for fat people to cling on to to justify their own bad habits.

Gary's tax plan involves removing income tax and placing a federal consumption tax on goods. This not only grants people freedom to spend their money as they see fit without it being taken from them, but it's likely to bring in more revenue than less.

A competitive job market works both ways. A company needs to offer appealing incentives for good workers to join and stay with them. Those who don't will lose the better workers.

It's been a long time since I posted here. Once long ago I shitposted for Paul.

Everyone's actually extremely positive. Any LP campaign's core job besides winning is raising awareness for the party and growing it as much as possible for next election. We've gotten more positive press prenomination this round than pretty much every other LP election combined.

Also, the idea that a lot of Americans are libertarians is false. Sure, Americans, both on the left and right, are fed up with the bloated federal government. But don't make the mistake to believe that a smaller, more efficient federal government is the same as a libertarian government. Further, don't think that dissatisfaction with the federal government is exclusively libertarian.

Most people do want government programs slashed but this is usually limited to the bare minimum. So, yes, entitlement programs should be reformed and able bodied workers should be forced to find work, attend higher education, or volunteer while on welfare but completely eliminating welfare, whether at the federal or, and this is important, at the state level. You see, a lot people are "libertarian" when it comes to the federal government but there is a significant acceptance of programs policies what libertarians consider anti-free market. Federal taxes are bad, state taxes are alright if they go to think I like: roads, agricultural subsidies, higher education grants, social security, etc.


The Libertarian Party will certainly get more votes this year. I'm guessing a solid 2% if not 3%. But these votes will all in likelihood be protest votes and not a vote for the free market, taxes are theft, minarchist ideology.

Like Cruz, Kasich, and Bernie - anyone still in the nomination or presidential race despite having the math clearly against them is in it to pocket campaign donations.

Up until 1989 you couldn't do that. The Ethics Reform Act covers personal usage.

Businesses benefit & work force get's anally raped.

Yes goy, let's open up those borders.

That's fair, but with open borders they are surely going to just hire much cheaper foreigners who are willing to work for a wage that wouldn't be comfortably livable for an American.

Bernie is almost broke at this point. His campaign has 6 million left.

Exactly. Libertarianism is an anti-white ideology. It is the ideology of the globalist elite. It is in favour of opening up borders and letting low-wage shitskins in that can be easily exploited. It is in favour of taking away the labor rights and labor protections of honest, hardworking white folks, fucking them over for life, only to make more profits for wealthy elites.

That's some 'logical' leap you made there friend.

McAfee is better

How so? Libertarians are ok with a minimum wage of 0.00 dollars, and are ok with flooding nations with limitless labor. Those two stances combined are doom for everyone but the oligarchs.

No, it's not. Libertarianism serves corporate interests. It is anti-white because importing shitskins is most profitable for corporations atm. To add to this, any ideology that takes away hardworking folks' labor rights is cancerous. Protect your citizens. Don't exploit them.

He also wants to make our taxes more progressive.

Open immigration will bring in more non-Whites who are notorious for voting Democratic, which is the party of ever growing entitlement programs. Again, if it's not the parents who will vote it will be their children who, by virtue of the current understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment, will be citizens and later vote to sustain and enlarge federal government programs.

Why aren't you supporting the superior Austin Petersen?

But the educated and productive ones are more than capable of going through the legal process right?

This is a lie. Immigrants do not improve the economy. it is know that the IQ of nations is extremely important. immigrants ruin that.

But muh GDP!!!

>It is anti-white because importing shitskins is most profitable for corporations atm.
incorrect. take another step back and realize bullshit regulation and taxes is the whole reason they move the jobs away

taxes are anti white because they empower people who weren't even born here, as well as niggers and anchor babies

>I'm an active campaign staffer
Have you meet Gary Johnson?

>I intend to remain anonymous.
He has more than one staffer?

I have. Coordinated his efforts at my state convention.

You're supporting a guy that will make the jew's job in destroying humanity exponentially easier. If Trump doesn't win you can kiss your ass goodbye, you are fucked and humans will never have freedom again. We already beat the establishment, no one needs your shitty third party candidate.

Found the globalist kike.

why would you advocate open borders before that goal?

putting the cart before the horse

Why do immigrants need to be shitskins? Why not let legal immigrants from Europe come here? The open borders nonesense is about the most retarded thing anybody has ever said. You're on par with saying if we fight them they win.

How are taxes related to open borders and labor rights? I never said anything about taxes.

Libertarianism is typically a package deal my friend. Obviously in office, there would be an order to it.

Sanders supporters are stupid and don't understand laws or politics they're just fed up teens/collage kids

Whit nationalist libertarianism is the most pro white ideology there is. It allows white people do succeed at what they do best without government conflicts and political nonsense to slow them down.
