Gary Johnson: “Libertarians agree with socialism as long as it’s voluntary”

>“But interestingly, of all the presidential candidates, I next side with Bernie Sanders at 73 percent,” he said.

>He then went on to say that libertarians agree with socialism, as long as it’s voluntary.

>“And look, libertarians agree with socialism as long as it’s voluntary,” he said. “But, when it’s forced, that’s tyranny. So, that’s the libertarian perspective, but I think there’s so much in common, that just factually speaking … take a look, Bernie Sanders supporters, at who you next side with.”

I fucking hate myself for voting for this faggot last election. The libertarian party actually has a chance to put up some serious numbers and they have completely ruined it. I think they realize that most people that tend to be economically conservative and socially liberal are voting for Trump, and so now, they have to pander to the DUDE WEED crowd. What a fucking joke

>they realize that most people that tend to be economically conservative and socially liberal are voting for Trump, and so now, they have to pander to the DUDE WEED crowd

Basically, yeah.

>voting libertarian

Do you really want open borders?

Reminder that anyone who still calls themselves a capital-L Libertarian is basically a leftist now and that if you really want to promote libertarian ideals you should be joining the "alt-right" or whatever you want to call it.

Christ he hasn't aged well

The Libertarian candidate is going to spoil votes from the Democratic party. What a time to be alive.

Every single libertarian with some god damn sense agrees that open borders is retarded. I voted for him last time because I was upset the Republican Party screwed Ron Paul. Paul never argued for open boarders during his 2012 bid

>implying all libertarians are degenerates.

He was the one I was going to vote for...

I think hes accepting Merchant checks

REMINDER THAT THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY IS A BIZARRE FRINGE GROUP

I didn't say NONE were, just there are those that aren't.

if you're wondering why the libertarian party's been pretty weird lately it's because it's been coopted

We would love to have you aboard the trump train, brother.

does this mean i have to vote for trump now?

Yes

Polls show Johnson doing best with under-35 voters, or, you know, those must likely to have supported Bernie Sanders.

I think Sanders' former supporters are more likely to vote for Johnson over Clinton in November than former Cruz supporters are to support Johnson instead of Trump.

That's the conclusion I came to. This marks the point when you realize the only candidates that aren't bought and paid for are Trump, Jill Stein, and Sanders.

The only Cruz supporters that would vote Johnson are Glen Beck and his 3 followers

stein's literally retarded though

Same.

Vote for a third party they said. We've got to stop the duopoly they said.

I feel dirty having voted for this massive faggot.

>socialism
>voluntary
Is he fucking SERIOUS? Do you guys think he actually believes this or is literally just a Hillary plant.

money should be illegal desu

Third party candidates rape and obliterate the party they most closely identify with.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

GARY JOHNSON
STEALING THE CLINTON VOTE AND NOT WINNING THE ELECTION

TOPKEK

Trump Presidency incoming.

>open borders
Get rid of welfare for migrants so you dont get the scum that wants to live of other peoples stolen money. Give immigrants opportunities to make something out of themselves like make it easier to found and run a business, abolish min wage and work permits . That way you mostly get good immigration.

I think he wants the Bernie voters.

I was planning on doing it out of spite again because of how hard he ass blasted Rand, but I came to my senses just in time to vote for him in my states primary

>that pic
Wow, leftists really have no concept of the difference in spending the money that YOU EARNED versus spending someone else's. Jesus christ, this is really revealing of their mindset.

But forced gun control and forced to labor against your religious beliefs is OK.

I didn't imply otherwise.

Unity Party 2016. If we can get enough of the Bernouts to vote Gary Johnson instead of Hillary we can swing the election to Trump.

...

So wait, is he on our side or their side?

If Gary's making all the right choices to try and steal some democratic voters and bern victims, it may actually be in our best interests overall. Disenfranchise some of those who would have voted LP to go vote for Trump instead, attract enough democrats away from Hillary if they were never going to go Trump, and put the Never Trumpers safely away in their homes on election day.

I mean, I don't habeeb this being intentional but goddamn if it turns out that it is...

>Get rid of welfare for migrants
That will never happen. Also, brown minorities vote for more welfare. The more of them vote = the more welfare.

The real median income in America is $30,616.
The real median income in Mexico is $4,910.

They will come even with no welfare.

Open borders are for retarded cuckolds. Japan doesn't let minorities in, Israel doesn't, why should we?

It's a bit saddening what happened to the guy. His hubris led him to believe he could start a media company with no other plan than "guys, it's me", and now he is facing the consequences.

Or this could backfire massively. How about we just get the Bernouts to vote Trump, instead.

libertyhangout.org/2016/05/gary-johnson-shoots-himself-in-the-foot-throws-out-austin-petersens-gun/

Gary Johnson is an asshole, also he's for open borders.

he's being paid to cause trump to lose (see ) but he's not having that effect

I hope he siphons democrat votes.

There is only one third party to vote for

This election has been a pretty good set-up for a third party to win and win big but I don't think there is any talented force organised to steal the election with the time given.

Just remember, regardless of who wins this election the game has been changed and the 2020 election will be splintered as hell, unless Trump wins this election and is phenomenally popular by the end of his term which is kind of unlikely

>take a non-libertarian position
>claim libertarians aren't degenerate because a non-libertarian isn't degenerate
let's see what we got in the old memebox for you

I agree with 73% of the dancing fat man's moves.

Well, it could be more than one layer of deception. It LOOKS like he's in it to steal from Trump to Hillary's benefit, but that could be just a cover for doing the opposite.

Then again, with how incompetent politicians in general seem to be in 2016, its entirely possible that all of this is happening because they're just doing it wrong, not because it was masterfully planned and obfuscated. Either way, so as long as it benefits Trump I'll be happy.

She's a retard kike that would destroy america faster than bernie or hillary. Green parties worldwide are leftist kike cancer. It's the WORST parts of the global kike agenda.

Open borders can't exist with a welfare state.

Any self-respecting Libertarian who says we need open borders would also demand an immediate and complete termination of all types of welfare, domestic and foreign, to individuals, corporations and nations. Laqeueesha asks who gonna pay for her babby? Not the State! Military welfare queens? No more of those, a standing military is Un-American! Israeli welfare queens demanding billions of shekels because muh 6 million nevar forget? It's forgotten, you thieving jew! Comrade Chan in China demands money because he's a "Developing Country?" Eat shit, yellow jew, no handouts for you!

Taxes? We don't have no STINKIN TAXES! It's YOUR money, not the thieving Government's! Use it how YOU want to.

Open Borders WITH a Welfare State ends up like Europe where millions and millions and millions of African niggers are pouring in because GERMONEY FREE MONIE FREE WITE PUSSY MMM MMM MMM BOI GIMMIE SUMMA DAT and actual taxpaying citizens of the country are bled dry and then murdered in their homes when the FREE SHIT runs out by the hostile foreign invaders.

if clinton wins the nomination, he will. i will never vote for clinton i'm sure there are other berners that like GJ

The real median income in America is $30,616.
The real median income in Mexico is $4,910.

They will come even with no welfare.

By the way, minorities vote for more welfare. Let more of them in, you get more welfare.

Open borders are for retarded cuckolds. Japan doesn't let minorities in, Israel doesn't, why should we?

How is he wrong?

>A: My vision of the border with Mexico is that a truck from the United States going into Mexico and a truck coming from Mexico into the United States will pass each other at the border going 60 miles an hour. Yes, we should have open borders.

hes an open borders cuckold.

>My vision of the border with Mexico is that a truck from the United States going into Mexico and a truck coming from Mexico into the United States will pass each other at the border going 60 miles an hour.
what an autistic way to say "open borders"

It doesn't make any sense but if it steals votes from Hillary I'm okay with useful idiots.

Is this why Libertarian parties are, unfortunately, such a joke? Clowns like this guy

>If I point out fallacies I win the argument!

Isn't that also a fallacy?

>Is this why Libertarian parties are, unfortunately, such a joke? Clowns like this guy

>Clown
>support Drumpf

Really makes you think.

christ

that really is Communism though
>lack of a state
>no private property

lmfao

It's the fallacy fallacy

He's for amnesty, college for illegal aliens, White guilt, and yet calls himself libertarian. The one thing he does have in common with libertarians is for open borders, which besides not ever labeling myself, is why I could never identify as libertarian.

You've just committed the fallacy fallacy fallacy

Yup. Voted for Obama because I didn't want to vote for Palin. Then voted for Johnson because I didn't want to vote for Obama or Romney...

And you know what? IN THE BALLOT BOX WAS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS FUCKERS NAME.

He doesn't fucking campaign. He doesn't put himself out there. NOW all the sudden he is but I have barely heard of this guy and that's what third party fucks don't seem to understand. They all run for the HIGHEST OFFICE ON THE FUCKING PLANET as no-named guys. Hell today I just heard on the news about some other guy who was running and they said "he refused to do an interview with us"

YOUR. ARE. RUNNING. FOR. FUCKING. PRESIDENT. YOU. NEED. TO FUCKING. TALK. TO. PEOPLE. IN. ORDER. TO. DO. THIS.

Why is Trump so popular? He takes every interview he can get pretty much. He puts himself out there as much as possible. And people like Gary Johnson just don't. Hell, everyone supporting him is doing so just because he's "NOT TRUMP" not even because he has done anything to garner any attention at all.

Also it wouldn't hurt for them to try to, you know, run for an office that wasn't the one on the top? Try getting a third party elected for Mayor or Governor first. They go for the top position without even establishing themselves anywhere else.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about here? Please tell me I'm not alone.

wow... really makes you think

Freedom is slavery user. When we're all poor as shit and our wealth is squandered like in Venezuela, that is when we'll achieve true liberty.

>Veto Johnson goes to Isidewith.com
>finds out he's a crazy jew socialist

That would be nuts to be a candidate and take a political quiz only to fi d out you're more like someone else.

Also,
>look at me! I'm Bernie lite!
What a fag.

Why, WHY did he do this? AP might be a knob but it's better to have him (and all the people that like him) on your side after he said he'd support the LP candidate rather than be childish and snub him.

migrants who want gibs me dats and hate their shitty country will come in and vote for mega liberals

stop acting like the government will be abolished - it won't

that's because in many states he's either:

1. not on the ballot
2. does not have electoral voters
3. and does not qualify for federally matched campaign funds

also neither rural evangelicals nor urban progressives like him, so he doesn't have much of a base of power to bank on. For comparison, the Green party does well with the latter hence why they have a handful of state assembly seats in Oregon and Washington

Why is Sup Forums caring about Johnson all of a sudden?

human life was a mistake

>gary johnson runs for president

>fake conservatives who won't vote trump are turned off of johnson's socialism comments and begrudgingly vote trump

>bern victims that would have otherwise voted hillary now vote for johnson instead

>dem vote gets split

>Trump wins

>america is made great again

Run Gary Run

>open borders
>gun grabber
>hates America
>lolbertarian

When will you faggots ever learn?

Human life isn't required for liberty desu.

>voluntary socialism
u wot mate

>media always portrays libertarians as Hunter S. Thompson-like political renegades
>Libertarians finally get some coverage for their debates
>see this

Even if Johnson won (which will never happen), do you really think Congress would allow him to pass open border and gun grabbing policies? Of course not.

But then again, Trumpfags believe that Trump will do everything he promises by himself.

It's already legal to form a socialist charity and donate all your money to it.

If you do, you aren't subject to income, property, and most other use taxes that the average person is.

This is a non-statement at best, and a disgusting attempt to pander at worst.

Yeah I was wondering if it's stuff like that too. They should focus on that stuff before deciding to run for the highest office in the land, don't you think?

>3. and does not qualify for federally matched campaign funds

How does that even work?

>They should focus on that stuff before deciding to run for the highest office in the land, don't you think?

and this is the core problem: the libertarian party has no state-level base since nobody actually wants libertarianism

again see the Green Party with Jill Stein, who fare slightly better. They're the reason why Sanders is a candidate, at all

Yeah, you have the freedom to choose not to use your mandated government healthcare, and the freedom to choose not to smoke weed.

This is the saddest pandering I've ever seen. The problem with socialists is that they want other people's shit, and other people won't voluntarily give it up. They're already free to start their own little communes but they don't because have no resources of their own, they think they're entitled to someone's stuff that they've never even met.

>voluntary socialism
>t. ''''''''''''Libertarian''''''''''''''

Are the kikes threatening to kill his family or some shit? Holy shit, I can't believe I almost voted for this fucker last time

I'm amazed they did not choose McAfee, a self-made billionaire who could have self-funded his Presidential campaign like Donald Trump. Gary may do well enough to secure 5% of the vote, but McAfee could have potentially taken it to the presidential debates.

But user, it's not stealing once we abolish property :^)

His most notable promises are the wall and the travel ban.

The first one is a 10 billion dollar construction project, with a wall having already passed, and a wall having 66% support among Americans. The other can be done by executive order.

That's why people are afraid; the things he suggests are completely possible.

DUMBASS ALERT DUMBASS ALERT
>DUMBASS ALERT DUMBASS ALERT
DUMBASS ALERT DUMBASS ALERT
>DUMBASS ALERT DUMBASS ALERT

IT'S LITERALLY FUCKING NOTHING YOU CAN AGREE WITH 100% OF WHAT TRUMP SAYS AND STILL GET LIKE 60% SANDERS

Gary Johnson's primary policy position which distinguishes him from the Right Wing is DUDE WEED LMAO.

nsfwcorp.com/dispatch/gary-johnson-swindle/

The communes with people who ARE willing to do that shit themselves tend to end up being targeted by the Federal Government and ultimately suffer bloody, burning massacres at the hands of law enforcement agencies.

You're not allowed to leave the Rothschild-owned grid.

McAfee is nuts tho

COMMUNISM IN THE PUREST SENSE (SOCIALISM DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST)

>no private property
>not even your body
>not even your private parts
>rape is no longer rape as in it's a legal activity to share peoples' bodies

This is the only way I see leftist libertarianism. They full retard it all the way back around to provide everyone the liberty to do everything with no restrictions, with the exception of trying to claim restrictions themselves. It does away with the freedom paradox by simultaneously stripping you of all your freedoms and providing you the freedom to do whatever. It's mindfuckingly insane and only a computer program can think this shit up!

shills bud

hes a nobody from a literally who political party

he wont get shit for votes, anyone posting Gary threads here is just some redditor trying to (unsuccessfully) siphon votes from Trump

Libertarians apparently agree with whatever man children want.

What a dumb party. Never planning on voting Libertarian in my life now.

PCmatic is better imo

Less nutty than Gary.

nice b8 m8

It's disgusting really.

Out of the millions of socialists, they could all move in together and share expenses and incomes. They could become rich and powerful beyond their wildest dreams simply because they share things they would have otherwise needed to waste money on.

They could form powerful purchasing collectives that demand lower prices. They could cut their rent in half. They could have it all but choose to have nothing, because they can't cooperate or do anything for anyone but themselves.

Ultimately, they could be an economic force big enough to require state intervention to break up. There's a reason the US fought literal wars against Communist countries; because the idea was just viable enough to catch on and tank global economic progress entirely.

>Not using Avast

Socialist are just lite communist. This probably explains why I've never heard of this idiot

He has to take the route of peeling off Bernie supporters because Trump's platform is already pretty close to Ron/Rand Paul's libertarianism.

maduro also agrees with sanders, what is your point?
