2016 Presidential election

[WantSomeSlaw]

As a libertarian (who's still too young to vote lol) I hate all the candidates
Cruz is wacky
Trump is a belligerent statist
Bernie is a socialist
Hillary is a lying bitch, who should be in prison.
HOWEVER, if I had to vote, or at least put it into perspective. Cruz > Trump, Trump > Bernie, Bernie > Hillary
If I were to vote in the primaries, I'd vote for Cruz. If Trump wins the primaries, I'm voting for Trump.

As a libertarian, your second choice is an unabashed authoritarian?

[glutton.]

Please vote in the primaries and the general election if you're of age. http://www.rockthevote.com/register-to-vote/?referrer=https://www.google.com/ (You may have to register as a Republican or Democrat in order to vote in the primaries, check for your state's voter rules. i.e. in NY, you must be registered as a Democrat to vote for either Hillary or Bernie in the primary).

If you're truly undecided, this short quiz (10 minutes to take on average) may help you find the candidate you align most with: http://www.isidewith.com/

The fact that Trump or Cruz have made it this far is horrifying.

Thanks, I ended up getting 93% for Bernie Sanders. I would prefer not to vote but I rather not have Trump as president.

As a libertarian, your first choice is someone actively trying to restrict the rights of women and gays. Someone who is actively trying to make Christianity a driving force in government. Aren't libertarians supposed to be for minimal government?

On a side note, it's a shame Ron Paul could never garner the same attention Sanders has. Rand Paul's suspension of his campaign also bummed me out.

Its scary that Trump is such a bad option that Clinton is a good option

Luckily, most people who identify as libertarian are too young to vote.

yep, but i still think id rather have either of them instead of ted cruz.

[excitableboy]

Even scarier that Bernie is such an actually good option, most Americans won't take him seriously.

[Level 60 Dwarf Paladin]

Cruz might be more terrifying than Trump. The whole evangelical, Christian Right-wing angle...

Hmm maybe , but trump is pretty crazy .  Whats with the USA and crazy candidates ?

You had that crazy Mormon dude who ran against Obama . You had that crazy woman from Alaska Sara Palin .  Bush and Cheney were border line war criminals and pretty crazy both of them .  Now Cruz and Trump

Sanders might be the least corrupt / good guy in along while . Clinton might be ok but she has been involved with alot of shady shit and is just another standard president

Obama looked promising and no doubt less shitty then many . But so many broken promises and introducing more laws to restrict " freedom " Not sure how good he was

Who was the last good president that the USA had ?  Clinton ?  Carter ?

I was under the impression the twenty-sixth amendment mandated the voting age not exceed 18. Underage&ban?

SNL is willing to sacrifice a newborn child for Trump to win.

[WantSomeSlaw]

Wow I got quite a bit of flak for that last post. Allow me to elaborate, I really don't like ANYONE who is in the running and HAS A CHANCE OF WINNING THE PRIMARY.
My mistake, I was posting from the position of people who actually have a chance. I'm a fan of Rubio, I'm kinda a fan of Kasich, and was a fan of Fiorina. However, if we're being honest, Rubio has no chance of winning the nomination (neither do Kasich or Carson) so I was referring to the four people who this race is truly between as of now (Cruz, Trump, Hillary, Bernie).
To reiterate. I HATE ALL OF THEM. And obviously I don't agree with Trump/Cruz on all of their views, in fact, a lot of them i don't. I can't think of any president with whom my political views align with completely. But if we're talking about the best of the worst, then my last post shows my stance.

And @Tay, I'm pretty sure there's no minimum age for this site

[chuck d]

No one found your last post to be unclear. We know Rubio won't win any states today and that anyone polling behind him obviously doesn't qualify as a "candidate". Among the four, your personal top choices are Cruz and Trump. You can determine whether or not you align with Cruz, because he has been extremely consistent since college. But you cannot say whether or not you agree with Trump on all of his political views, because NO ONE knows what his views are. However, from the most recent incarnation of Trump's political shapeshifting, he is completely anti-liberty. He openly and unapologetically admires dictators.

I have to ask this question that I ask every libertarian; do you deny human-caused climate change?

Edit: welp, I was wrong, Rubio is gonna win Minnesota. Still doesn't make him a contender, obviously, just wanted to acknowledge that I am eating my words.

[Michelle Obama]

How in the fuck do you become a libertarian before you are eligible to vote? I thought they all got converted at college (because they had no friends/girl)

This is a weird question to answer, because so much of the evidence is politicized. But I'd say that with the majority of the evidence I read, human-caused climate change is real. And even if I were to think that it was a myth, putting unnecessary chemicals into the air can't be good for the environment, so I would still advocate for being better to the earth. I hope that answer suffices.

I ask that question because most self-described libertarians claim that their political view points are predicated on the belief that government lacks efficacy. Yet, from what I have found, most also believe in the government's ability to orchestrate an enormous conspiracy, in collaboration with scientists of countries all over the world, some of which are not even allies. No libertarian has ever been able to reconcile this willfully inconsistent view of governmental agency. Anyway, I'm glad you're not a complete idiot yet.

Lmaoooo I know exactly what you mean. "Bush did 9/11" Okay, how can you talk about how incompetent of a president he was, yet be able to execute such an elaborate attack? (Not calling Bush a good president, just using an example).
I am not totally trusting of our government, but I usually don't believe in conspiracies.

Unless they bring Darrell Hammond back, they don't really have a good Trump.

Trump is trolling the shit out of existence right now, like he shouldn't have made it this far. Insanity.

it would be crazy if it was just a prank or a social experiment . Like the day he gets elected or the last day he just goes

You should be ashamed of yourself. An outspoken racist/bigot with absolutely ridiculous plans and no political experience is better than a socialist and a moderate democrat both with > 20 years of experience and both with a very good understanding of the political system? Are you kidding me? You can call Bernie's plans ambitious because they are, but they're much more thought out and feasible than "make Mexico pay for the wall."

Good thing you're not allowed to vote though. Trump is a piece of shit

[givecigstosurfgroms]

  Only in America would Bernie be called a 'socialist'..

[Bonefish]

this shit fills me with rage.

clinton is obviously a reptilian shapeshifter

[KING TUT]

i know man. if you don't like Americas foreign policy now than wait til Hilary gets in. i smell war. She will be poking at Russia every chance she gets. The middle east will be in its worst state yet. she gives me goosebumps.
