Libertarian?!

[seeker_two]

I listened to an interview with Jorgenson done by a Libertarian podcaster....

To be honest, I'm not impressed. Her background seems to be primarily political activism with little real-world experience. I don't want another politician....I want a citizen who wants to serve well. Of the three, Trump is the only one who fits that profile.

Help me to understand. She has little political experience, and you don’t want another politician, you want a citizen who wants to serve, so you’ll be voting for Trump?
I don’t follow.

How many political offices has he held? How successful has he been in the private sector? How ingrained is he in the GOP?

I don't see anything in JJ that would make her a better candidate than DT....other than making loftier campaign promises....

No such thing as a perfect candidate.

One will have to choose the lesser evil.

A vote for a Lib is a vote for the Dems = a vote wasted. What we need is a "Green Party" candidate to dilute the Blue vote not the Lib who'll only serve to get the Dem elected. Hell, she (Lib) may even be a Dem/Soc plant.

How ridiculous. If I wanted Biden to win, I’d vote for Biden.

If Jorgenson wasn't in the race, would you vote for Trump? Let me rephrase that. If there wasn't a third party candidate, would you vote for Trump or Biden?

Lol, she ran on the Libertarian party ticket in 1996.

Probably not, didn’t vote for him last time.

Voting third party for a non-starter like Jorgensen is exactly that. Do you seriously believe a magical number of voters are going to show up at the polls and vote for her? Because if you do, you're either naive, delusional or have some really great drugs!

 

[Axxe55]

Lol, she ran on the Libertarian party ticket in 1996.

And exactly how much of the vote did she get? Hmmm...she ran as Harry Browne's VP candidate. They got .05% of the vote.

Yeah, really huge massive blocks of voters!

Define magical number.
And if you believe voting for the “lesser of two Evils” for the rest of your life is going to change a damn thing, you're either naive, delusional or have some really great drugs!

And?? I was explicitly replying to the suggestion she was a plant by the dems.

Did you even vote? Because if you didn't vote, you have no right to complain about who was voted into office.

Here is the basic and final truth. You vote for Biden - you vote for antigun, anti USA. You vote for Jorgeson You vote for Biden because she has less than 5% chance of getting over 50% of vote in major population states. She has less than 0% chance of getting enough votes in every state to get the required votes in the Electoral College. You vote for Trump - you vote for a boob, but one who has shown repeatedly he is pro-USA

 

[smittyb]

Did you even vote? Because if you didn't vote, you have no right to complain about who was voted into office.

Lol, quite the assumption there.
Just goes to further prove the point that people are brainwashed into believing there are only 2 choices.

Define magical numbers? Well it would be much higher than .05% of the total vote! Even Perot only received 8.4% of the total votes.
I didn't vote for Trump necessarily because he was the "lesser of two evils" but because of his campaign promises. I'm voting for Trump in 2020, because he has either delivered on those promises, or has made an honest attempt to deliver on those promises.
Maybe you could enlighten us to exactly what things Jorgensen has accomplished? What promises she has made as a politician that she has delivered on?

 

[oldag]

That wasn’t your argument at all. Your changing the narrative.

What planet are you on?

The OP was talking about someone voting for a third party presidential candidate.

That was my entire argument.

Maybe we should vote for whoever gets the shooting started the quickest.

Let's get this shit over with.
