RE: The lesser of two evils. The strange American approach to elections.
I found this interesting considering the Libertarian party (from my perspective) likely lost a lot of their past core followers by changing a lot of their platform, i.e., supporting TPP, supporting gun control to name a few - things that, to me, seem to be antithetical to Libertarianism. -but maybe I'm more of a Constitutionalist these days? Guess they picked up some of the anti-Trump people this time around.
Gun Control is the PRIMARY issue with me and many others.
It's the litmus test.
The second amendment means what it says...
"the right of the people to own and bear arms...shall NOT be infringed."
period
I do not support anyone who supports victim disarmament.
Exactly, which was why I was surprised to hear Johnson say anything to the contrary like he did. I've also heard that once Trump was nominated, majority of big republican money was pulled and refocused on Johnson, maybe hoping to use him to pull votes from Trump because "anyone, including Hitlery, is better than Trump". Guess its the 'devil you know' or the 'give us Barabbas' mindset.
"majority of big republican money was pulled'...
huh....
okaaaaaay.
