Choose Gary Johnson and Bill Weld - don't pick the meteor

[doc_strange]

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.

Yes I did read the platform. Each of those absurdities is in it.

First, I have, too, and that is more or less a caricature of it you present. More like a straw man edition than a serious rendition. Just picking one example, on the environment, the part about courts for redress is in reference to government-driven environmental damage today being performed by an unaccountable government. The party treats environmental damage as an externality, one of the few places overarching regulation is necessary - but they also believe in individual rights, and thus the individual right to seek redress for violations of those regulations. Maybe you could read up on them.

And second - you're convinced the current two parties offer better solutions? I am serious in asking that. Maybe you are capable of a serious answer.

All I see in the Democrats' platform of the proposed democratic "socialism" is government-blessed captains of industry, in which we will have more or less recreated Colbertism.
