If Trump drops out, it then becomes a 2 party race between Gary and Hil. How many pubs move over to Gary? All of them (that didn't seppuku)?

That's a pretty hilarious hypothetical, but I do think Libertarian ideals probably appeal more to Republicans than Democrats since they are both largely focused on smaller government.

Which I guess just means that I see many registered Republicans voting for Gary in this election.

Is Gary an anti-vaxxer? I guess that would be consistent with libertarianism, but that's one of the problems I have with him.

Why would a for profit prison be incentivized any different than a state run prison when it comes to keeping prisons full to maximize jobs?

with govt prisons, labor is incentivized to keep prisons full. with for profit prisons, both labor and owners are incentivized.  but with both, taxpayers ultimately fund everything, and have the only real control on prison costs.

not true, labor seeks to maximize working conditions for incumbents.  I don't know this for a fact, but I bet there is a lot of prison guard union bitching about prison overcrowding.

This sounds most libertarian to me.

What does it take to be an anti-vaxer anyway? I'm not hardcore libertarian, but I don't like the idea of any forced medication from the government. Maybe incentivize it with tax benefits or something.

Yup, the incentive that your kid won't die from diseases we have vaccines for just simply isn't enough

Your kid can't go to school unless they are vaccinated, right? So the incentive is that you get to use the education that you are already paying for (through taxes).

i don't know either, but i would guess they would bitch about understaffing rather than overcrowding.

So you were thinking Gary wanted to eliminate that requirement for schools? Is that even a federal requirement? I honestly don't know about any of this stuff.

libertarian philosophy doesn't insist on absolute individual freedom.  an individual's decision to vaccinate or not impacts the health of other people, hence it is philosophically consistent to permit coercion on this issue.


i don't know what johnson has said on the issue, just commenting.

Yea, but that gets into scary levels of government control in the name of protecting the public like forced sterilization. I don't think many libertarians are willing to cross that line.

All I know is that he says no mandatory vaccines. What does that mean?  :dunno: Is requiring them for school making them "mandatory"?  :dunno: I'd like clarification on his stance.

OK, I did it. But I don't really know how twitter works so I'm not sure if I am going to know if he responds.

Has Gary received security briefings like the other two fuckfaces? If not, what is the threshold that would initiate that?
