At a time when 13% of registered voters polled showed a preference of having a giant meteor hit the Earth to having Trump or Clinton as president, the Libertarian ticket, starring former governors Johnson and Weld, hits it out of the park with a no-hype, plain-talking ad...



If they poll at 15%, they will be in the presidential debates this year. If they receive just 5% of the national vote total in the election, the Libertarian party will receive advance federal matching funds in the next presidential election, changing the election landscape.

Environment? Sue for damages after things are fucked up.
Education? Buy it on the free market.
Sick? Buy health care on the free market.
Job? You are free to negotiate with Megacorp.
Guns? But whatever you want on the free market.

What could go wrong?

Did you actually read the party's platform, or are you just projecting your idea of it?

Really, you're better than that. Please compare with Ms. Clinton's platform.

ETA: I ask because neither candidate has (ever) proposed the above. But if you're satisfied with the current two-party system and the positions and realities of the laws their representatives pass, then a third party - even one you do not agree with - won't attract you as a way to push your preferred party more in your direction.
