Libertarian national convention May 27–30 in Orlando (Official thread)

[torchbearer]

Just unliked the LP on Facebook. If I vote this year it will be Ron Paul

So you are putting together a slate of electors for Ron? Are do you mean you are going to commit the useless act of voting for someone who isn't an elector?

Supporting Johnson could lead to a better platform to start from for a better candidate in 2020. Johnson will not occupy the white house. But his vote totals could lead to inclusion of the LP in future debates.

The LP sold out. Just like they did with Barr and the used car salesman. And they did it so willingly. So don't talk to me about principles. The LP has none. Clearly.

 

[VictorB]

This is a cluster.

He takes his part for the failure, as does the person who wasn't supporting him to begin with.
Each person is required in the act.

example-
I didn't vote for Rand Paul when i had the chance. Its his fault he lost.

See I disagree. I'm an independent, I have zero obligation to vote for GJ (even if I was Libertarian I would still have zero obligation). It's up to the candidate to appeal to people like me. Now if I didn't vote for him because I was too lazy or for some petty reason (not thinking he has a chance to win or something stupid like that), then yea I would take part in the blame but that isn't the case.

If you didn't bother to participate in that process, and you are bitching about it, what does that make you?

Then status quo is what you get. Congrats. You will still have an ineffectual third party and two crappy statist to vote for in 2020.

As if you were going to vote for any LP candidate. You already stated you were supporting Trump.

Not near as useless as voting for the statist LP candidates. Neither are going to win but at least I'd be voting my principles.

 

[younglibertarian]

Weld is a horrible speaker anyway. Booo

That statement blows my mind. A trump supporter- a person who supports a candidate that supports liberty 0% of the time is bitching about a candidate that supports liberty only 80% of the time?

Well Torch, what you got right now are THREE statist parties. Weld is scum.

Darrell Castle 2016!

Not if he nominates a CFR member as his VP, I can assure you.

How is this any different than trying to guilt a Republican into voting for Trump otherwise you "elect" Hillary?

Weld doesn't support ANY kind of liberty. Have you even taken the time to research this guy?

 

[torchbearer]

Well Torch, what you got right now are THREE statist parties. Weld is scum.

But out of the three, only one do you have a chance to change by your participation. Guess which one? And imagine how useful it is to torpedo it.

Yes, he is about 2 degrees better than trump. But unlike trump. weld has no chance of fucking up our lives.

What are you talking about?? Weld and Johnson torpedoed it.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Yes, he is about 2 degrees better than trump. But unlike trump. weld has no chance of $#@!ing up our lives.

Yeah, he does. You don't understand the power of a high-ranking CFR member.

 

[torchbearer]

No they didn't. They support what they support. They didn't lie. The delegates voted. You didn't participate in it. So now you are just bitching about it.
