Gary Johnson is/was a far superior choice to Clinton or Trump. Do you do anything but complain and put down people that dont agree with you?

Actually no. Prison costs are ridiculous in this country and private prisons only make that situation worse and Gary Johnson was one of the worst offenders at privatizing prisons and ramping up his state deficit as governor.

What he was/is good at is elevating state deficits and taking care of his own personal interests.

Usually, I wouldn't have bothered reading about a Libertarian candidate, but I once lived in New Mexico and was curious about Johnson when he was running in 2016. He was bad news.

Heading into the 2016 election, I didn't know or have much of an opinion about Johnson, but after watching the "What's an Aleppo" episode live, there was no way I could have voted for him.

Like I said, "flawed".
That's the point. If they put up a decent candidate I think it's a party that could get some traction.

The worst part about Gary Johnson was that he was a terrible libertarian.

A Libertarian out of necessity?

Johnson thought it was enough to be pro-pot and pro-choice. On a great many issues, though, he was more statist than the other two put together.

What other kinds of Libertarians are there

I actually specifically used the lower-case "l" libertarian.

Mostly because I agree with you on the capital-L kind.

^^^^^^^

I wish one of the younger democratic candidates was as likely to beat Trump, but at this point, he's the frontrunner.

April 24, 2019:

A new Morning Consult/Politico poll conducted April 19-21 among 1,992 registered voters found Biden leading the president by 8 percentage points in a hypothetical matchup, 42 percent to 34 percent. Biden has a significant edge over Trump among women (17 points), millennials (22 points) and independents (10 points).
And, he only trails Trump by 3% among white males.

For anyone who isn't aware, Joe Biden is from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Trump Campaign Sounds Alarms In Pennsylvania

April 24, 2019

“Senior Trump 2020 advisers are headed to Harrisburg on Wednesday to meet with Pennsylvania GOP officials amid mounting concerns about the president’s prospects in the critical battleground state,” Politico reports.

“Trump’s campaign is moving to shore up the state after a 2018 midterm election that saw Republicans get blown out in races up and down the ballot… The private meeting, confirmed by a half-dozen party officials, underscores the high stakes for the president… Trump won Pennsylvania by less than 1 point in 2016, and reelection aides view the state’s 20 electoral votes as crucial to his 2020 hopes.”

There you go again with polls, LOL.

I'm with Joe!

and is it really too much to ask for a candidate under the age of 70?

I am getting to that age where it might make some sense for me to vote for one of those "tons of freebies for everybody" candidates. You know, one of those that is promising:

free college
free health care for all
free scrub your college debt
free living wage for all
free free free

By the time the bill comes due for all the freebies i'll be dead. Be someone else's problem.

Can someone make us a list from the top down of who is promising the most freebies for the most people?
