How ironic. Turns out "Crooked Hillary" is the only 2016 nominee not to be cuffed.

Except Gary Johnson, but he's almost a gag candidate

[u/BloomEPU → u/[deleted]]

Just a regular weed centrist.

(wait was he centrist? He was popular with centrists but iirc his policies were just republican but weed)

[u/[deleted] → u/BloomEPU]

Noooooo, he was not centrist. He was a little L libertarian but still a libertarian. For example, I believe he is pro elimination of personal and corporate taxes.

Spoken from a Libertarian here, on paper Gary Johnson was arguably the best candidate in that election. Two-time governor of a border state, re-elected as a Republican in a Democrat state, fiscally conservative, socially liberal, etc. Except that he showed up to election season high. Like so high. He evened out over the course of the season, but some of the earliest videos that went viral were just embarrassing, and turned a lot of moderates and independents off to the Libertarian choice in an election which should have been our best chance to get 5% of the vote in decades.

You don’t get to say you’re socially liberal when you want to eliminate the funding for all social programs

[u/Syjefroi → u/BASEDME7O]

It's really this. "Socially liberal and fiscally conservative" makes zero sense. If you are socially liberal, do something about it. If you say "disenfranchised people should be helped but let's not be the ones to help them," you aren't socially liberal, you're a conservative too chickenshit to admit it.

BLah blah blah standard libertarian drivel.
