Quote:rocdee, I'm not the only person who likes Rand and Sanders. Look one post below your own if you don't believe me. The two are diametrically opposed in a lot of areas, but at the end of the day, they end up sharing views in a few areas. Non-interventionist foreign policy and defense of the Fourth Amendment, for example. For some small-l libertarians (I guess I'm technically a big-L Libertarian too until I register to vote in TX) who lean left on social issues, like myself, that makes Sanders a very appealing candidate.


If Paul's campaign pulls off a miraculous rebound and it's Paul v. Sanders in the general election, I'd pee myself with joy, but right now, Sander and his not-really-all-that-socialist socialist platform seems, to me at least, to be the best chance libertarians have of having someone in office who holds similar views on civil rights and liberties that we do.

Sure they are far apart on lots of issues. People still don't see core similarities between Sanders and Paul. I've pointed out a lot a of progressives like Rand on very important issues. He'd 100% get my vote over probably all non Sanders Candidates from all parties.


Some people don't understand not voting strictly on party lines.
