I think the Libertarian ticket would be much stronger if William Weld was heading it. Gary Johnson's just a bit too goofy.

Trumps Baby Hands posted:Gary Johnson wants to repeal Obamacare, which is the only tangible thing that came out of DC that directly changed my life. I would prefer he don't do that Keep in mind just because it changed your life doesn't mean it didn't gently caress up someone else's.

i am not a libertarian but i would say that from what we have seen at this convention, the party actually represents Real Everyday American Culture far more than any other.

Both Clinton and Trump are hated there, and Johnson could thread the needle. He’d be the first third-party candidate to win a state since George Wallace in 1968. Goddamn Enten is so loving dumb!!!

last election during the debates with Obama and Mittens gary johnson streamed it on youtube with him in a chair yelling at the candidates and what he would say if he was up on stage with them. It was pretty sad and hilarious at the same time.

They were pretty chill through the whole thing after being repeatedly baited to throw Clinton/Trump under the bus. Then when it was over CNN immediately cut to what basically amounted to a riot on the house floor. lol.

Weld had no shot at being nominated as LP's Presidential candidate. He barely won the nomination for VP after Gary Johnson begged the delegates to nominate Weld.

Johnson had to chant things like "taxation is theft" to keep order as it was. That said, every party seems to hate electable candidates this cycle, so at least they're not alone.

Gary Johnson probably isn't a libertarian himself. He's a weed guy. Like back when I was a libertarian Reason did an article interviewing him where it was pretty clear he was just a moderate conservative guy and then he hosed up his back shortly after he left office in NM and was miserable until he started smoking weed, which led him to the left on criminal justice issues. That led him to the Libertarian party because they were already all-in on weed at the time (2007 or so). Not that he's a great candidate, but he isn't ideologically libertarian like the party itself is. If he got into the debates he has the ability to look sane next to Trump.

I don't disagree, if he wanted to be in politics seriously he could just be a Democrat now and probably fit in okay. I guess he feels committed at this point

I think the distinctions between Gary and the major parties is a little more than just weed. He's also the only candidate against foreign military intervention, the surveillance state, big business exploiting regulation to their own benefit among others.
