“Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it’s very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history.”
Trump added, “Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years.” (In 2016, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson earned more than 3% of the popular vote – a high point in the party’s history.)
Trump left the stage after 34 minutes, marking one of his shortest campaign speeches to date. The Libertarian Party is expected to select its presidential nominee Sunday.
Well if they’re libertarians, they’re gonna openly boo him while secretly voting for him.
“We also want to be racist and stomp on the working class, but we also still want to smoke weed.” - that about sums them up. They got me because of that single issue back in the Ron Paul days before I looked deeper into everything else they were about.
Then I discovered libertarian socialism, when the whole Occupy Wallstreet thing went down. I liked that one better. Couldn’t figure out why America’s official “Libertarian” party were being such asskissers to capitalist power.
Because money, of course.
There at too many words for me to keep track of. Can someone tell me the difference between a libertarian and a conservative? Cuz I’ve always been under the impression that libertarians are just rebranded conservatives, which also makes them mostly blue collar (in my mind). Is that not true? Your comment would make me think it isn’t, which confuses me because (in my mind) that would mean they’re stomping on themselves unless they aren’t blue collar. Or are we not considering blue collar workers a part of the working class?
Genuine questions, I’m not trying to be an asshole I just want to understand.
Libertarians want everyone to be allowed to rape underage children, conservatives want it limited to priests, police, and politicians.
