[quote name="The_Anchorman" post="845720" timestamp="1475545008"]I can be libertarian and still vote for what I believe is the candidate that best supports my views.[/quote] You'd think the libertarian candidate would support your views best, you being a "libertarian" and all.

Quote:Who are you to tell me otherwise? I've explained why I'm libertarian. I believe my views line up well with many of their positions. I'm not anarchistic to the level of Eric. But I see the benefits of less military intervention, which results in smaller government. I also believe that the government should not be a nannie state. These are libertarian values.

Your first choice of candidates was Bernie Sanders, the self admitted democratic socialist. Government (taxpayers) funded tuition and healthcare isn't smaller government, and less military intervention is a core democratic value.

Quote:You can call me a shill, but at least I'm not a naive voter that is only now paying attention. What Hillary did to Bernie is called politics. People that are offended with the Hillary campaign are either intellectually dishonest or have never followed politics before. Primaries are ugly and contentious. Get over it, grow up, and deal with it.

Hey, if you're okay with the "do whatever it takes to win" kind of politics, that's fine. It's your political party, not mine.

Quote:Also, Hillary Clinton has been a democrat her whole life. So while she may not be my ideal candidate, her policies have lined up with mine in many ways for quite some time. I know what she's about and the vast majority of her positions have been the same for decades.

It must be all of her libertarian policies that you align with her on...

Quote:How long has trump been a republican? How long has trump supported the ideas and policies that make you want to vote for him?

I honestly don't care how long he's been a republican. And for 70 years he's held the main reason I'm voting for him...he's not Hillary.

Quote:So yeah... If I'm a shill... What does that make you?

Exactly like you. So you can stop with the holier than thou attitude you've got going about everyone else being a naive voter just following party lines when that's exactly what you're doing yourself.
