I hope you realize that a vote for anybody not Hillary was a vote for Trump. If you were half as rational as you claim you'd man up to that.

Couldn’t this same thing be said about any candidate though? A vote for anybody not Johnson was a vote for Trump? Or Stein etc?

The President is on yet another tweet storm. Let’s put whether he spouting facts or acting like a spoiled child aside.
Doesn’t the President have more important stuff to do than tweet negative crap about a former staffer and a guy who was fired from the FBI?
Someone please embed some of his tweets, I have no idea how to do that with AT

I’d like to know what these guys think.

I’ll say libertarians have many good ideas, just the candidates that come up for election are idiots (in my opinion)

Libertarians have many interesting ideas. The problem is that none of them bare relevance when applied to actual policy and real, living, humans are involved. Libertopian philosophy crumbles when the "data points" of their theories are realized to be actual, thinking, sentient humans that tend to have their own ideas about living their own lives.

Nah, he got a tax cut so it's all good. Plus all the free heat from Democracy burning down and winter is coming.

It doesn't matter what state I live in, no candidate is "owed" my vote no matter what the other options are. You win or lose my vote based upon your own platform and beliefs. The "vote for the crook it's important" line of "Candidate X is the worse evil" reasoning doesn't work with me when you're supporting different evil shit. There were plenty of reasons to vote against Clinton regardless of who else was running and "avoid the GOP candidate winning" isn't the correct solution to give those who would normally vote for 3rd party candidates. Improve your own party's candidate choice instead of relying on appeals to the other party's being worse.

Exactly
Theory vs real world.

We’ve all been told to talk it out with bullies, we all know that never works.

You’ll never win an argument with Trump citing facts, you will win by calling him fatty consistently and numerous times.

I'd say I agree with the post above. He should stop tweeting all together.
