So, it's the political party that matters; not what the candidates stand for?
Aren't you voting for Trump? What does he stand for? He's contradicted himself so often, does anyone even know? LE, you have no room to talk about "what the candidates stand for" when you've openly stated you're voting for someone who is unquestionably an authoritarian.
As for what the candidates stand for, I'm reminded of Emily Dickinson's poem:
Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind
Those who were advocating for candidates like McAfee must know, at least on some level, that he's unelectable: a fugitive wanted for questioning in a murder case is never going to be electable. The American electorate isn't ready for that, and the media would eat him alive. Nor is a candidate who is a complete unknown (like Petersen) going to get elected. The truth of the libertarian movement must happen slowly, and through the best conduits to make that happen.
Johnson announced just a short while ago that in 2012, Judge James Gray attempted to make media appearances, but was completely cut out by our wonderful MSM. He made exactly zero appearances in the press, not for lack of trying, but because our nation's media is fucked up. Zero. William Weld has already appeared in 25 MSM interviews. That's impressive, and that's the power of a major, well-known candidate who is already known by those in the press and those in politics.
People can dig at Weld's or Gary's positions, but these guys actually ran as capital-L Libertarians
knowing it was political suicide. And yet still wanting to offer an alternative for voters. And Weld did so in 2006, before the RP revolution was even going. That speaks volumes to me.
Dude, you have to utilize reason and logic in your responses in order to sway anyone with "reason".
There are already enough Trumptards around here.
