Thought he really did well for himself in the Congressional race in the 5th. Not exactly a favorable district for a homosexual white male.

Posted this in the other thread. I like a lot about his platform.

I can’t ride with the Libertarian stance on open borders.

But I like a lot of what this guy is selling…

Dig this plenty -

  • I will not support any new gun restrictions and will look to repeal the restrictions that exist today.
  • I will nominate to the judiciary judges committed to protecting the right of all persons to defend themselves from aggression.
  • District of Columbia v. Heller was a seminal moment in our history, affirming not only the right of citizens to own arms, but determining that restrictions such as trigger locks are unconstitutional. I will work to extend this legal concept to all bans, such as bans on bump stocks.

Yep, this -

Immediately abolish the death penalty for all Federal crimes. Not only are mistakes sometimes made that are not discovered until the execution has been carried out, but prosecutors often use the threat of the penalty as a method for extracting confessions in exchange for more lenient sentencing. This presents ethical concerns in itself, such as innocent suspects confessing to crimes they did not commit to escape the needle, the chamber, or the chair.

Right again -

Immediately act to remove all federal laws criminalizing cannabis and end burdensome regulatory hurdles like federal banking regulations, placed on the cannabis industry.

F@&k yea, brother -

  • Work with Congress to abolish the Patriot Act, which has unconstitutionally increased the powers and scope of the police and surveillance state.
  • Work to repeal the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 which serves as the legal justification for the surveillance abuses disclosed by Edward Snowden in 2013.
  • End the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which routinely violates our civil liberties, requires airlines to become agents of Federal surveillance, and whose screening devices, both for luggage and facial recognition, repeatedly exhibit problems that are inexcusable in relation to the taxpayer dollars spent.

Yep, wish he had addressed ALL bodily autonomy-

There are many complex issues in our society which offer no easy solutions. More than a few of these issues involve individuals engaging in activities that may run counter to our personal beliefs. Outside of obvious criminal offenses such as assault, theft, or murder, it is not the role of government in a free society to prohibit such behavior, even when the majority wishes it so. For this reason, activities such as abortion are the province of individual choice and bodily autonomy.

Whew daddy, imma need a shower. Preach -

At the federal level, the best policy on education is to remove the federal government’s involvement in education. I support abolishing the Department of Education and block granting those funds back to states to be returned to taxpayers. I also support getting the government out of the student loan business so market forces can lower the cost of higher education over time.​

I voted principles in ‘16 with Johnson.
I sat ‘20 out.

My vote this cycle (if I ultimately choose to do so) will be a protest vote. I’ll likely pull the lever for RFK for no other reason than to hopefully (naively?) lend weight to the idea of a viable 3rd party candidate.

I do not approve of RFK’s positions, and would vote for Oliver hands down if it was just the 2 of them running.

Agree, his history does not match what his platform says. Feels very much like a "wolf in sheep's clothing" type imo

War, protecting kids, size/scope/power of govt, theft thru taxes, spending, discrimination thru policy

Things like that. Others can slide on a continuum

I feel if we can reduce the size of the state we can fix most issues locally. Or people can move to find a more reasonable place. That's hard to do when it's the fed govt bearing down on you

Libertarianism in a largely atheistic, self centered and immoral society, which we have in spades today, would only quicken its destruction. However, America is so far gone, it may not matter at this point.

It's immoral to let people make their own life choices without govt mandate? I believe it's the exact opposite. Why do you believe the collective is preferable to the individual? Has that been working out lately

Honestly, there is no good answer. These are age old philosophical questions. How do you keep an immoral atheistic society from self destructing? Should a society be kept from self destruction? Should every form of vice be available and unregulated at the finger tips of society?

Maybe there is no answer at this point and the current is too great to overcome. We are going over the waterfall regardless. Libertarianism, however, provides no pushback against the current to even try to buy more time.

Why do you assume self destruction from a more free people? Why should victimless crimes be prosecuted? How does a god that some believe in have anything to do with this?

Belief in a Creator seems to act as a deterrent to immoral behavior, in general. I dont assume self destruction from a free people but I also think it depends on the general morality of said free people. If you have/had kids, you know each is very different. Some need more oversight than others. Some you can allow more freedoms.

Victimless crimes do have direct victims, the person acting and many times they have indirect victims.

A deterrent? Seriously?

I don't believe govt should be the ones deciding who needs increased oversight. Why should certain people have that power over other people? Especially when most are corrupt

What's an indirect victim? You think prostitution should be criminalized because Timmy's parents got divorced? Maybe that creator should have made a stronger deterrent
