So good it had to be posted twice!
I'm surprised. With Reason, I figured there would be an article titled 'Why Libertarians should vote Democrat'.
Oh, um. Oh.
In your defense, there's little practical difference between the two parties.
Your name is very fitting.
OT: Can anyone recommend some books that provide a concise intro to the various empires throughout history? I already have one about ancient Greece; I'd like to read one book about each of the major civilizations that laid the foundation for the world as it is today - Egyptians, Romans, Persians, Assyrians, Ottomans, Byzantines, Chinese, the various Central American empires, etc.
Time-Life hx lib.
There are these building in most towns and cities. They have lots of books in them. One of them has this guy named SugarFree running it. They have lots of books in them. I forget what they're called, but you might want to check one out.
They have computer games where you can run simulacra of them.
There's no reason for democrats to vote LP. What, are the LP going to promise to hand out more free shit and raise taxes to sky high levels? Free abortions? Thought crimes? Repeal the first and second amendments? What? We have nothing for democrats.
Yep.
Leftists feel that freedom means asking permission and obeying commands.
Libertarians understand that liberty means not having to ask permission or obey orders unless you're messing with the life, liberty, or property of another person.
The entire concept of liberty is abhorrent to any committed leftist.
Give me liberty or give me free shit! Ok, I'll take the free shit.
/democrats.
Government is the great fiction where everyone endeavors to live at the expense of everyone else.

What, are the LP going to promise to hand out more free shit and raise taxes to sky high levels? Free abortions? Thought crimes? Repeal the first and second amendments?
Between Johnson and Petersen at least 50% of those proposals are represented this year.
Some (D)s believe like I did in social/legal equality of everybody, a vague sense that government surveillance on millions of innocents is wrong, the wars we've been fighting are wrong, "I should be allowed to own any weapon I want, I'm not a criminal!", a woman has a right to make decisions about her own body, and other stuff.
BUT THEY'VE NEVER HEARD THE WORD LIBERTARIAN, or equated it to the freedom we seek.
We're immersed in it because we are aware of it. The vast majority are not even aware.
Until a few years ago, around the time of the Feinstein AWB attempt, when I started looking on the Intrnetz for "U.S. political party Bill of Rights 2nd amendment goddamn freedom!" et. al., digging through dozens of blogs and news articles, did I finally find "Libertarian". And Reason.
What was your first time like, realizing you were L(or l)ibertarian?
I've been blown away by the number of people on my facebook who claim to be open to voting EITHER Sanders or a libertarian candidate! I always think, you know one is for individual liberty and the other is for fewer types of deodarant and death camps, right?
I often wonder if they teach world history anymore?

Why are Weismann and Swain encouraging the overthrow of the US government and Constitutional rule in favor of even worse habitual liars and cheats and yes, rich, rich, rich career politicians who failed in the private sector big time? Please display all authors financial situation in detail. Can't have facts can we?

RE: Why Democrats Should Vote Libertarian This Year, According to Libertarians
That won't happen.
That would be like Hitler voting for David Ben-Gurion for chancellor of Germany back in the 1930's.
The democrats, like the republicans, love Big Government because they can get the taxpayer's money to themselves and their cronies.
Don't get me started on how both parties love wielding power from Big Government to soothe their pathetic egos.
I am a card carrying socialist that believes that the only reason socialism has always failed is because the right people weren't put in charge. That is why I love Bernie! Where others have failed (every other) Bernie will succeed because fairness and social justice.
If Bernie doesn't win, then I am voting for the champions of individual liberty and freedom.
I can see how you struggle to wrap your head around it Uncle J. Bernie has a camp in mind where they can re-teach you if you think that might help. It is a standard feature of socialist regimes much like all the ugly architecture and starvation.
