Disappointed in how unfunny this thread is.

By the way libertarians still don't actually exist. Their plan to get votes is to be candidates no one knows anything about.

The young social democrats and bummed neocon think tankers aren't voting for the neoconfederate weed guys sorry

Nirvana bassist backs Gary Johnson

For Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, the money will roll right in from former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic.

"I just gave the maximum contribution to @GovGaryJohnson presidential campaign," Novoselic tweeted Tuesday. The maximum individual contribution permitted under federal law is $2,700.

According to public records, Novoselic previously donated to a series of predominantly Democratic candidates and organizations. He also gave to Virginia Libertarian congressional candidate William Redpath in 2010 and independent Pennsylvania candidate Nicholas Troiano in 2014. He also donated to Ron Paul in 2007 as the then-Texas congressman with libertarian leanings ramped up his bid for the Republican nomination.

Novoselic then tweeted a link to a blog post written last Thursday in which he laid out his thoughts on the landmark 2010 Citizens United case and the history of campaign finance law in general.

"The best one can do to serve democracy is to understand and study issues," he wrote in the nearly 3,700-word treatise. "Don’t believe the hype about Citizens United. It was a good ruling that protected the right of people to hear information without the government picking and choosing who could speak."

I think Gary Johnson is gonna make it to the national debates stages brehs

Governor Gary Johnson is feeling good after clinching the Libertarian Party nomination for president over Memorial Day weekend. More accurately, he’s feeling “really terrific.”

Referring to himself and his running mate William Weld, Johnson told MTV News, “We survived the convention! That was a big deal. There were a lot of people saying ahead of time that they looked forward to supporting me, but [they told me] you do have to survive the convention.”


This sentiment is understandable, as the Libertarian Party convention is not a typical political event. Just this year, a candidate for party chairman performed a striptease onstage. Additionally, Johnson beat the following candidates for the presidential nod:

1. Austin Petersen, who favors who favors “free banking,” in which banks and private enterprises would issue their own currency. He has also said multiple times that he wants “to live in a world where gay married couples can protect their marijuana fields with fully automatic machine guns.” Don’t we all.

2. John McAfee, a software developer most famous for creating extremely popular anti-virus software and then moving to Belize, focusing his energy on extolling the virtues of bath salts, maybemurdering his next-door neighbor over his neighbor’s complaints about McAfee’s dogs, and then moving back to the United States to evade Belizean police.

3. Darryl W. Perry, who accepts donations only in Bitcoins, AltCoins, precious metals, airline miles, and hotel points. When asked at the convention debate whether it should be a crime to sell heroin to children, Perry argued that five-year-olds should be able to inject heroin without adult supervision.

Johnson, by far the most “mainstream” of the bunch, was also the most-booed candidate at the convention. He was heckled for supporting the Civil Rights Act of 1964, for saying he believes that drivers should be licensed, and for arguing that, while all drugs should be legalized, perhaps they should be kept away from children. Still, Johnson’s unorthodox approach to libertarianism just might be what helped him win the nomination, in the most visible election for the party in years. And he’s not worried about the jeers: “Libertarians are not alone in having divisions among their own party,” he said. “I do speak on behalf of libertarians because I am the nominee.”

Johnson sees himself as a ready alternative to both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump (whose nomination he says he foresaw months ago), but he’s particularly interested in attracting Bernie Sanders voters. “Bernie’s got a lot of libertarian in him” on social issues, Johnson said. “There’s enough of a tie-in to potentially attract his supporters.”

T. Becket Adams, a reporter for the Washington Examiner, agrees. “[Johnson] stands a good chance of winning over some disaffected conservatives and liberals,” Adams told MTV News, “the so-called social conservatives and members of the Occupy crowd.” Adams noted, however, that Johnson’s policies won’t be what attracts voters. “Some voters will flip to Johnson in protest of their party’s nominee, not because they care about his positions on Bitcoin and auditing the [Federal Reserve]. I don’t think it’s whether he’s ‘libertarian enough’ so much as it’s ‘can he appear less corrupt/loathsome?’ that’ll matter most.”

Granted, the former New Mexico governor might have less success with social conservatives — first, for his selection of the very, very liberal former Massachusetts governor William Weld for his running mate, and second, for saying during the Libertarian Party debate that bakers should not be able to refuse to create wedding cakes for same-sex weddings. But Johnson is unconcerned. “I don’t want to be any part of discrimination whatsoever,” he told MTV News, adding that in many cases, permitting someone to refuse wedding services to same-sex couples would require changing state law.

Johnson’s now focusing on ensuring that his name will be listed on ballots in all 50 states — a major challenge. And he admitted, “It’s hard! It’s hard to be a part of a third party. Democrats and Republicans have colluded to make it very difficult to get a third party on the ballot.”

He’s hopeful, though. He’s even given up marijuana for the rest of his campaign and, presumably, his term in the White House. For Johnson, it’s time to get serious.

After Winning The Libertarian Party Nomination, Can Gary Johnson Win Your Heart?

Poll: Libertarian Johnson tops Clinton among independents

Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson leads presumptive Democratic nomineeHillary Clinton among self-identified independents, a new poll finds.


A Fox News survey released Thursday found Clinton leading overall with 39 percent support, followed by Donald Trump at 36 percent and Johnson at 12 percent.

But among independents, Trump leads, at 32 percent, followed by Johnson, at 23, and Clinton, at 22.

It’s the latest sign of early polling strength from Johnson, who many believe is poised for the best showing from a third-party candidate in decades.

The former New Mexico governor has been on a media blitz and urging pollsters to include him in their surveys.

The Presidential Debates Commission requires candidates poll at 15 percent in five polls leading up to the debates to qualify, but many pollsters only survey the two major party candidates.

In polls that have included Johnson recently, he’s landed in the 10 to 12 percent range — well within striking distance of where he needs to be to qualify.

Johnson told The Hill recently that he believes his polling numbers will go up once Vermont Sen.Bernie Sanders drops out of the race.

The Fox News survey found Johnson taking 8 percent support from Democrats — better than Trump’s 7 percent support. Trump has similarly made an appeal to Sanders supporters.

Among Republicans, Johnson takes 11 percent, compared to only 6 percent for Clinton. The former secretary of State has talked about reaching out to members of the GOP who say they can never support Trump.

The socially liberal Johnson, who supports gay marriage, abortion rights and legalizing marijuana, does best among young voters, taking 18 percent support among those under the age of 35.

He does poorly among older voters, taking only 4 percent support among those over the age of 65.

The Fox News poll of 1,004 registered voters was conducted between June 5 and June 8 and has a 3 percentage point margin of error.
