I get irrationally annoyed overtime I see someone holding an umbrella over a rich/famous person. You are seriously so special that you can’t use your hands?

Generally I like the mix of fashion and music. I blame George Michael. In theory I should be all for this, but holy jesus Balmain is SO RELENTLESSLY UGLY. It hurts my eyes to look at it. It is too much of everything all at once. Ugh.
Even Nader encouraged swing state Democrats to vote for Gore. If Stein doesn’t do the same, she’s supporting Trump over Clinton. It’s not like she’s siphoning votes away from Trump.
Watch Sam Bee at the libertarian convention. It's both hilarious and informative! I would link but Kinja blows.
Nope. I think all of the Sanders voters who are going to vote for Hillary Clinton (or any Democrat other than Sanders) are already in the Clinton camp, and the people who are left (the Never Hillary and Stein voters) are the far-left activists who were never going to vote Democrat anyway, a group of people Sanders…
Libertarians want to destroy the social safety net, cut government revenue to the bone and effectively throw our country into chaos. There’s a reason their candidates (and most of their adherents) are former Republicans. It’s the same Got Mine, Fuck You attitude, just with less religion and more weed.
A little from Column A, a lot from Column B. :) I’m sure that there are some of them who are just deeply oblivious to their own privilege and genuinely think that the free market can conquer racism with the power of wealth flowing to those who are open-hearted and welcoming...
He wants to kill the Dept. of Education. Can’t find a general minimum wage statement from him, but he vetoed NM’s attempt to hike it above $5/hour in the 90s.
For me it’s his opposition to medicaid, medicare, food stamps, and other forms of welfare that actually have great returns on investment. Look at single-payer or (like Hillary is proposing) a public option: just because it’s a big investment, doesn’t mean it’s a bad investment, or NOT the best investment. He also…
It’s everything aside from the War on Drugs... and there’s no “support for LGBT people”... Libertarians just want to slash and burn which coincides with disincentivizing marriage completely - something possibly dangerous without study since it might lead to an even more aged population in the long term.
Short version: if you’re a liberal, Johnson holds a couple of stances that you’ll likely agree with, but mostly he’s crazy.
Well, they believe the provision in the Civil Rights Act that requires private businesses to serve the general public is invasive, which is kind of like the religious freedom acts on steroids. They also want to shut down the EPA, Dept. of Ed, FDA, and Fed. Reserve. Most liberals are against that.
As near as I can tell there are two kinds of Libertarians. The ones who have serious reservations about an expanding government that continually grants itself more powers and tax revenue on the basis of a poorly defined moral superiority, who believe that what the government does should be constrained by some kind of…
It's the 'states rights, no federal protections for anything' thing that gets my goat about libertarians. Progressive ballot measures are easier to defeat at state and local levels, except in outlier super lib places like Washington. Matters of human rights can't be relegated to the states. There are things that need…
The need for moral purity by people who wouldn’t hold up to their own standards is mind boggling because it comes up in every fucking election, even local ones.
I’m in the same boat. I wanted a different more progressive option and switched to the Green Party and right now I’m so fucking ashamed because this woman represents so much about what I loathe living out here in Cali. On paper the Green Party is awesome and has run some incredible candidates but with someone like her…
Her energy policy involves moving the US both to 100% renewables AND totally rejecting nuclear power. How? By vague hand-waving, that’s how.
She also gave a shitshow of an answer about how she would use “quantitative easing” to get rid of student debt, because the fed can just buy existing debt and forgive it!
Also, I’m concerned about the lack of general political experience and who she would appoint to the cabinet (should a miracle happen and she be elected.) If it were up to me, I would like the Green party to take a step back and start focusing on local elections rather than national ones. I don’t love the two party…
Not only is she not prepared to be President, she has no desire to be President. She’s never run for elected office other than a seat on her town council - her repeated Presidential runs are nothing but an exercise in ego and moral purity for herself and those who just can’t bring themselves to vote strategically.
