“You know, we don’t live in a democracy because a democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner. OK? It’s not just majority rule. It’s a constitutional republic. The founders set that up because they followed the biblical admonition of what a civil society is supposed to look like. What’s happened, Alex, …
Can’t confirm. I consider myself Libertarian, I don’t do drugs, and I have been voting more Democrat than Republican in the last few elections because the Republicans consistently go against my libertarian values. I had to change my affiliation to Republican to get a primary ballot (I’m in a red state, so I wanted to vote to try to limit the damage my neighbors might cause), and ended up voting Democrat in the general. Many of my Democrat friends do the same because the Democratic primary here is a joke.
There are a lot of “libertarians” that are just edgy Republicans, but I doubt they even bother changing their party affiliation. An easy litmus test is if they support Trump, they’re not libertarian. That’s where I draw the line, and it has been pretty effective for me.
Nope. I actually never voted for Obama. I voted for McCain in 2008, then I moved states and ended up not voting in 2012 (esp. when Ron Paul lost miserably), Gary Johnson in 2016, and then Biden in 2020.
I think Obama was a decent executive, I just don’t feel like he really represents much of anything that I want. If I could replace Biden with Obama 2.0, I’d take it in a heartbeat, but I don’t think any President should server >2 terms, even if it was legal.
Libertarians are just republicans who do drugs and are too embarrassed to call themselves republicans.
