The Libertarian Party Race is Filling Up?

[nate77]

Bsically there are three Democrats running for president now.

You could possibly classify Trump as a Blue Dog Democrat, but he isn't a progressive, social justice warrior, globalist Democrat like the other two.

... He's quite Progressive, and SJW, and Democrat. I don't know where you're getting your information, but you might consider unsubscribing to that newsletter.

I'm basing it on the RNC. That was probably the most "democratic" republican convention I've ever witnessed. Well, I'm not exactly sure I was awake for the entire '96 convention so I can't say for sure I witnessed all of it.

Which plank of Trump's campaign is progressive?

As for his SJW cred, he is the most politically incorrect candidate I've ever seen. He's not afraid to call and illegal immigrant an illegal immigrant, or an Islamic terrorist an Islamic terrorist.

Comments section is pretty entertaining; not many Johnson fans, guess they see right through him too.

Haven't read the article, but the title looks good. If only he wasn't a social justice warrior. I might be able to vote for him.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Jill Stein? She's the major, out-there SJW. Or even Trump? Clinton?

Among the four... I think it would be difficult to label any one of them without mentioning the rest.

He's not on the scale of Clinton but he's definitely got a SJW streak in him. Way too broad for what I would think libertarians would be willing to support. My only guess it that is meshes with their own preferences and proclivites.

See above, watch him get triggered like a precious snowflake at the term illegal alien.

Jill Stein isn't a candidate of any consequence. She's not even on the ballot in half the states.

Anyone who throws a temper tantrum when someone uses the term "illegal alien" is out there with the rest of the moon beams and social justice nutters. And that's not to take anything away from Clinton or Trump. Both are nutters in their own right. Point is, it's the one thing--well, there's the whole sore winner/douchebagery thing with Austin Peterson--that keeps me from being able to support Johnson. Every time I take the i-side-with quiz, of the three social justice warriors in the race, I side with SJW Johnson on most issues. But the issues in disagreement are deal breakers.

The dude needed to be ***** slapped for that. C'mon. It's a descriptively accurate term. It doesn't matter if drug felons don't like the label, or whether that should be a felony or not. A drug felon is a drug felon. It's a descriptive term. Same with illegal alien. They're not citizens. They're alien. They're not here legally, they're illegal. So it's fitting and accurate, whether or not they find the term offensive, and whether or not the law is good or bad, to call them illegal aliens.

Has anyone else heard the only adult in the room's commercial on 560am or your local radio station?

Trump does have problems, but he will call a spade a spade.

yeah, but the way he does it often sounds incredibly racist. Now granted, the people who report on such things tend to make him sound racist when he's not. But there is a reason why Washington speak has become what it has. Trump's ability to say what he wants only works with the few people who don't care.

Trumps popularity proves people are sick of "Washington speak", and political correctness.

We shall see...it's relatively easy to fill a stadium with devoted fans. But more people go bowling in a week than will attend an NFL event in a season but because the coverage shows a huge crowd everyone thinks it's something (not to mention NASCAR). So, we shall see.

Yeah we see reports of Hillary doing it every day.

I was trying to find it again to link it or quote it but can't. Marco Gutierrez had a hilarious quote when an interviewer sought to take him to task for using the term 'illegal alien'.

He said something to the effect that 'If you broke the law to come to America, you are here illegally. If you shoplift something, you're not an undocumented possessor of goods - you're a thief'
