Weld or even a Huntsman would have been more viable options.

FF and to an extent Darko are actual libertarians on here. I'm starting a stopwatch the night of the election to see how fast everybody else runs back to their tribe on here and especially on FB. I'm guessing it would be a decent 40 time at the combine.

The notion that 3rd party candidacies are some sort of panacea is one of the worst of all political misnomers. This country once had viable 3rd 4th and 5th options and it caused a Civil War. A viable 3rd Party candidate would increase the likelihood that Trump or some idiot like him would become President. It also would increase the likelihood that someone could become President with 30% of the vote. How is that necessarily a good thing?


The 2 Party system has it problems but at least the person elected can make the argument that he is representing a large chunk of the population. The fact that you have 2 parties decreases the likelihood that clowns like Johnson and Trump will be elected President

Well, technically, that scenario would likely result in a house-decided election. So they would recast and then the winner would have greater than 30% (if you truly believe the representatives are extensions of the people).

You must have been taught about a different Civil War.

When was the last time the House decided an election? About 200 years ago? People would go bat shit crazy.

The legalization of marijuana is the biggest platform for me. Think of the money saved/taxes generated if it were legal.

Then don't vote for Trump. When Chris Christie is Attorney General, the legalization movement will take HUGE steps backwards.

I'm voting Libertarian again for the third straight year. At this point it isn't about winning so much as it is about getting to 5% of the popular vote. If he does that, the party gets federal money for the next election. Considering how shitty both of these candidates are, 2020 should be a heated election as well.

I didn't realize you were so down with the chronic. Team Weed is now accepting applications. Drop one off with either FavreFan or myself.

Even those of us who no longer get down with the chron realize how important legalization would be economically, CHUSE.

I don't smoke anymore, but I also endorse marihuana for legalization.

If you're up for a little quid pro quo, Team Cocaine could certainly review your application.

Yes, about 200 years ago. It would be crazy, but that's the constitution.
