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?

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

That's a pretty appealing ad. I bet it gets lots of people who are dissatisfied with their current options. (I enjoyed talking to New Mexicans about what they thought Johnson was like as a governor... pretty different from what happened when I talked to Chicagoans about what they thought about the President when he held local office, heh. That was surprising to me!)

I am, predictably, all in.

I enthusiastically support Johnson, Weld, and this ad.

I directly quoted or paraphrased the "libertarian" platform and you couldn't recognize the references.
Now you are arguing with assertions about the "Democrats" and "Republicans" which do not exist. I said nothing about them.
