Libertarian?!

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

No that's backwards. By voting you're agreeing to accept the outcome. Can't complain if your guy lost.

What planet are you on?

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

That was my entire argument.

That planet where someone thinks that less than 1% of the total vote has a snowball's chance in hell of winning!

smiityb and my California brothers think alike. No use arguing. They will be doing everything they can to help Biden win. If he does he will try to make California gun laws universal.

I complained when Obama won. I accepted the outcome. Didn't mean I liked it, or wanted it. Acceptance doesn't necessary imply approval.

Jorgenson should have run on the Republican or Dem ticket. Maybe run on the R primary ticket in 2024. Dems don’t let people win primaries that don’t toe the line.

Lol, that’s entertaining.

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?

Remember when Trump promised to balance the federal budget and do it “fairly quickly”?
Damn we’ve only added another 4.8 trillion.

That was my entire argument.

You’re first argument was a third party vote “in essence be abdicating to the Biden.”

You’re next argument was
“When has some dark horse third party candidate won?”

See there, you changed the argument, right here on this planet that we both live on.

When did I ever say she had a good chance of winning?
I am willing to bet you she gets far more than 1%.

And you expect Trump to be perfect? Maybe, just maybe, if he wasn't meeting so much opposition and others were trying to work with him, instead of trying to impeach him, maybe he might have a better chance at balancing the budget.

I'm not going to argue with you over it. It's your vote to do as you wish and none of my business. I simply stated why I would be voting for Trump, and why I wasn't voting a third party candidate. I stated those reasons before to you on another thread. Not going to rehash here any more. Have a nice day Smitty.

No, you just cannot comprehend logic.

One supports the other. The fact that no third party has done anything supports the fact the voting third party is in essence abdicating to Biden.

And you think Biden will do any better?

 

[single stack]

Time was that a vote for Perot was a vote for Clinton.
The same holds true this coming election.
A vote for anyone besides Trump is a vote for Biden.

 

[oldag]

I am willing to bet you she gets far more than 1%.

Ooo. So she gets twice that! 2%.

Whew, she dang near won the election.

 

[smittyb]

And you think Biden will do any better?

No, I don’t. Once again, I don’t support Biden in any way.

 

[smittyb]

OK, While one may support the other, the most certainly are not the same argument.

While I don’t disagree with that notion, he hasn’t presented a balanced budget yet.
Thank you for affirming that I still have a right to cast my vote as I see fit to.
I am not way mad or upset with you or anyone else, if that is what you think. I FIRMLY believe that individuals with different political opinions can have discussions, even arguments, and still be cordial, hell even friends.

 

[oldag]

No, I don’t. Once again, I don’t support Biden in any way.

You will be helping Biden when you vote for some third party candidate who stands zero chance of winning. Biden will thank you for not voting for Trump and helping Biden win.

To borrow from Vaq:
sigh

The leftists will turn out in large numbers for Biden come November.

A libertarian candidate appeals to conservatives more than liberals.

Not that hard to figure out. Abolishing the ATF is tempting, but abolishing the RKBA is more likely if Biden and co get into the white house.
