There are many reasons why I'm not the biggest Trump fan, but I'm voting for him anyway after planning to vote for Jo Jorgensen. I wrote in Ron Paul in 2016 and hate the term "this election is too important" but here are my reasons.
- The Corporate Press
I just really can't take these people the lies and obvious manipulation really grinds my gears. The way they have completely covered for Joe Biden, attack Trump for obvious jokes hes making, or as I would put it, breaking balls. NPRs statement yesterday was a shocker, not the actual content of it but the fact that they said it out loud. I have long understood the depravity of the corporate press but for them to task the mask off so brazenly will make the 'liberal reactions to Trumps win' highlights so much sweater.
- The Wars
Although I have many issues with the wars Trump has continued to fight (Yemen etc.) he hasn't started a new war, I think you may have to go before WW2 to find a president who did that. He is currently working on a peace deal between the Taliban and the Afghan government. Joe Bidens foreign policy adviser said he'd like to go back into Syria. All the Bush era neo-cons, whom I hate slightly more than even commies, have all endorsed Joe Biden. Joe will either escalate the wars, move to make them permanent, and most likely get us into new wars.
- The Democrats
They just deserve to loose. Even if I don't necessarily want Trump to win the democrats deserve to loose. They have moved further and further left in the worst ways, and further "right" in the worst ways supporting the wars courting the neo-cons (who were originally left-wing trotskyites but thats another story) and acting like THE FUCKING SPOOKS at the CIA and FBI should be held up as examples of American patriotism instead of the traitors they are (arming Al-Qaeda in Syria for example).
I hate Joe Biden far less than Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton is a fucking psychopathic monster whom I relished in watching lose last time, even then I didn't vote for Trump. This time is different those the corporate press has just gotten worse as time has went on and the Democrats learned absolutely nothing from 2016 other than we need to get more Orwellian than before.
Here are my concerns for the election right now.
-
Mail in Voting - have no idea how this will effect the race
-
Liking Trump or hating Hillary - I am slightly worried, and I haven't seen the press talk about this factor, how much Trump won last time because of Hillary. They underestimated how much people HATE Hillary Clinton, I wouldn't be surprised if many democrats stayed home in Michigan and Wisconsin last time just because they hated Hillary and if that will not translate to Biden.
-
Corporate press driven hatred of Trump - I am worried that these last three years has made more people brainwashed into believing the corporate press and although they have little enthusiasm for Biden they will go out and vote because Orange Man Bad.
Anyway, lets hope I get to enjoy another TYT and CNN meltdown on November 4th while blasting this for the days after https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcEc8zeNYxI
As a rational libertarian, the extremely dogmatic libertarians are the worst. I like almost all libertarian ideology in principle, but we don’t live in a libertarian world where everyone plays by our rules.
Exactly. The principles are good but one has to recognize that in the real world not everyone is John Galt.
We tried a full-libertarian government.
It was called the Articles of Confederation, which left the federal government so weak that it couldn't even collect taxes, and nearly fell apart when the unpaid soldiers started organizing a coup (only stopped when George Washington personally came to their meeting site and talked them out of their revolt).
Our current Constitution is the result of our nation's founders coming to a compromise in order to make the American Experiment work.
That's the thing about extreme ideologies: just like any other thing (including "breathing oxygen" and "drinking water"), too much or too little can be deadly. It's all about balance, and finding the compromise that best works to match our needs.
full libertarian is just as pants on head retarded as full communism... but I'm going to try and get closer to the libertarian side than the communist side as much as reasonably possible
I fully agree, I was just pointing out that the "extremely dogmatic libertarians" who actually want full An-Cap policies to be implemented in our government either have not learned about the Articles of Confederation or don't understand its implications.
LEANING Libertarian (particularly in response to massive pushes by the other side to implement socialist/Communist policies over the past few decades) is completely good and normal.
Trying to institute/run a fully-Anarcho-Capitalist society is just as retarded as the Champagne Socialists talking about how "the world would be better ONLY IF I PERSONALLY control EVERY ASPECT OF IT" (hence why even in fictional settings, the An-Cap system usually only appears in the immediate aftermath of THE GODDAMN APOCALYPSE, and is quickly replaced by some more-centralized system for maintaining law and order).
