RFK Jr Rejected by Libertarians After They Loudly Booed, Heckled Trump
RFK Jr Rejected by Libertarians After They Loudly Booed, Heckled Trump | Common Dreams
Kennedy was eliminated in the first round of voting after receiving support from 19 delegates, or just 2.07% of delegates.
Earlier, Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle had ruled that former president Donald J. Trump was not even qualified to be considered for nomination because he did not submit the proper nominating papers. Trump, however, received six write-in votes -- defeating Stormy Daniels, Denali the Cat, and Sean Ono Lennon.
I mean, if it was Stormy v Biden, we might have us a horse race . . . But it ain’t.
I imagine the Stormy write-ins were trolling Trump
I’ll allow it
Good. He should be rejected by everyone. First libertarians boo Trump, then they reject Brainworm.
They were right twice in the same 24 hour period. The adage about broken clocks is true.
It's really the end times when Libertarians seem like the more well-adjusted, rational crowd compared to Republicans.
... If they set up a hologram of John McAfee, with Ai voice mod, like a VTuber sort of, I am 100% certain it would win.
Eh, he lost the nomination every time he ran iirc
Dude was like the tiger King with a bit more cocaine
There's a tiny part of me that believes he said the CIA was after him then faked his own death and is in hiding on a secret island surrounded by hookers and blow.
Make Whalefucking Great Again!
Yo know you fucked up when the people normally telling everyone to shhhhh are making noise by booing you.
It's too bad the worm didn't have what it took to finish the job.
Wait, then who will be their nominee? Will we finally have one, even minor, candidate that is anti-genocide?
Oh, they won't win, but it is very curious that a position held by a great number of Americans isn't even represented as a candidate. Of course, the same goes for marijuana legalization and a lot of other things that Biden breaks with the democrats on, but it still is odd that no small party is filling the void.
Sort of like if the British lib-dems were against rejoining the E.U.
I don’t think either are supposed to have a shot. They were supposed to bring media attention to the libertarians (which they did)
Chase Oliver is the libertarian nomination and one of his common quotes is that he is "anti-war to the core". Anybody with sympathy towards Gaza should absolutely be considering voting for Chase in November.
They're clearly Bernie Bros, all of them
There is no such thing as a right wing libertarian
No S
I'm serious
You’re correct. It’s a spectrum, not a line. Social and economic policy are two independent axes in defining political ideology.

That's just, like, your opinion man!
Progressives are more in support of authoritarianism than they realize. Censoring speech is authoritarian by definition. It’s the primary reason I don’t identify as one.Edit: Consider putting the power, and setting the precedent, of subjectively altering the first amendment in the hands of this conservative SCOTUS. Is that really a great idea? Fascism arrives as your friend.Second edit: It turns out that I’ve been misinformed about progressives supporting hate speech censorship. Sorry about the confusion. Have a good night.
Since when do progressives censor speech?
Edit:
Again, when have progressives done this? How are progressives responsible for how a conservative SCOTUS rules on First Amendment rights? Specifically, what legislation has been drafted by progressives that censor hate speech? I have yet to see anyone aside from social media, who have their own set of codes of conduct, be censored by the government over hate speech.
A perfect example would be how Republicans say the craziest racist shit and aren't censored for it. If anything, it gets plastered all over the news. So your logic is highly flawed, champ.
No, you were LIED to by malicious actors trying to turn you against people who are, at least broadly speaking, more aligned with your goals than against. There is a reason communists historically kill social democrats before going after fascists, because they're afraid of diluting power between similar parties. They want sole power so badly they are willing to risk fascists getting it if they think it gives them a better chance.
Then here you come with "sorry I've been misinformed" like it was an innocent mistake. Either you know you're acting in bad faith or you're uncritically regurgitating what others have told you in bad faith. The people telling you that stuff are not your friends, they are just manipulators who want to stir shit between two groups fighting the same enemy.
So you weren't misinformed, you just fucked up, try taking some personal responsibility and go back to figure out where you went wrong and who you should be trusting.
