RE: Libertarian Response to State of the Union
Why is there a problem with Adam running now? If he wins then we are better off than with the Donald. If he does not win, then at least he got the message out 4 years sonner than if he did not run until 2024. Win win. I did not cast a vote at the last election. So I did mot consent to this idiot or anyone else ruling me or any of my peers. BTW If the majority of of voters did not vote, by your logic, wouldn't that mean that the majority did not consent? I hear a lot of good things about Trump that gives me hope and then all hope is lost the next day when I see the next action that he does. Maybe there is a method to his madness. As far as I am concerned, the jury is still out.
@jayem, I hear you. Trump has me confused too. It's almost like instead of being firmly principled. He knows that life is less black/white, and more in the murky middle, so it's better to win some, than lose it all.
I'd be more comfortable with Kokesh if he would be willing to abdicate his votes to Trump if the odds were unrealistic near the end of the race.
To me, Trump is more often less worse, than the controlled opposition. For example, with Hillary it was saber rattling with Russia, which is absolutely horrifying, and utterly stupid.
With Trump it's saber rattling with North Korea, which I also consider to be utterly stupid, but less horrifying.
There is a Japanese saying: "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." It's mostly true if you give it some thought.
I see trump as a qubit, he's either a one, or a zero, or both one and a zero. He seems to be constantly shifting as needs be. This might explain his ability to negotiate so well.
On the flip side, if Hillary won then maybe the sooner the SHTF and the sooner the revolution or the reset. I don't really believe that but who knows. Hey thank for your replies and the debate. I shall follow you. Edit: BTW I want to emphasize the win win concept I was talking about above. Why wait until 2024?
@jayem, I can totally see your point of view. It's difficult to say when would be better, sooner or later. Ultimately, it would be a subjective thing. Some would end up suffering more, and some would end up suffering less. I don't even know where i'd fit in those two categories.
