To end all domestic violence. Because not being able to slap her just makes men raging and they end up bashing her head instead.

wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

I keep seeing posts on Tumblr of people begging everyone to vote for Hillary now that is not going to get elected, often mentioning that the last time this happened Bush was elected. I don't know how much that is worth but at least some Bernie Bros (really? that's their name?) seem to know what they are doing.

Yea, becuase social media is not a place where people discuss politics at all. Basically people are either being idiots because of the election or the Stanford rape case, and the election is way less depressing.

But you see Hillary is worse, because there's all these scandals involving her that are totally not manufactured by the GOP machine.

I have to go now. My planet needs me.
The Green Party in the UK used to be a decent local government/protest vote, but then Natalie Bennett became leader, and it became a mess. Not only did they decide that someone who was born in Australia and lived there until she was 33 (and still has a strong accent) would be someone the British public would be likely to pick as thier head of state, but she gave some very rambling and incoherent speeches during the 2015 general election. Then she ran on a series of bizzare policies which didn't effect the average voter, like banning bullfighting and keeping apes as pets, or things that are really against the public mood, like unbanning terrorist groups, nationalising football companies, scrapping road buliding, and turning army bases into wildlife sanctuaries. The most awakard moment was when asked about how any of her ideas would be funded was to stop talking and leave long moments of silence, coughing and mumbling.

The only reason they weren't the worst (non-satirical) party running in the last British General Election was because UKIP and Nigel 'please pay attention to me and my casual racism' Farage took up so much media attention. What is it with Green Parties being a bit....odd?

I think there's a pretty big difference between a family where political power is passed down between generations like the Bushes and a family where a husband and a wife have both held important political power, especially if they both come from families without a history of political power, like the Clintons. One is nepotism, one is two people who have a lot in common including career ambitions getting married.

quote:

He is a 2016 presidential candidate running for the Libertarian Party.
Some of you may be willing to vote for him because he is not Trump or Clinton, but here is some more information about him.

He spent 8 years as the Governor of New Mexico.
He is fiscally conservative, and socially liberal.

Fiscally for:
Reducing subsidies
Reducing defense spending
Balancing the budget to decrease government debt
Eliminating the double taxation created by taxing both corporations and employees income tax
Eliminating federal income tax and replacing it with a 23% sales tax, so money isn't taxed before you used it
Pro FairTax
Eliminating free trade barriers created by lobbies

Socially for:
Separation of church and state
Gay Marriage
Legalization of prostitution to make its safer
Legalization of marijuana to reduce crime rates, violence, and government spending on prisoners
Pro Choice
Education reform (leaving education to the states)
State run environmental cleanup programs
Pro Gun
Removing Obamacare
Opening the border to increase the taxes paid by immigrants
Raising retirement age to 70 to reduce government costs

No candidate is perfect, but know all of your candidates before you cast your ballot.

Haha holy crap a 23% federal sales tax? That would be a massive tax increase for everyone not making, like at least 120k/yr.

Let's be honest, that made the libertarian convention more entertaining than either of the other two. The only thing that could top it is if riots did actually break out.
