Basic horseshoe theory. The extreme left and the extreme right are closer to each other, in terms of policy and ideals, than they are to the moderates on their own sides.

Probably a combination of:
  • They don't know what they're talking about regarding Johnson's policies and how those jive with their own.
  • They're pitching a fit because they didn't get their way, but know better than to vote for Trump.
  • They were lying about being socialist, and were possibly pitching a fit when voting for Sanders because they didn't like Clinton.

Most of the Bernie Bros like his socially liberal policies and don't understand his liberal economic policies. A lot of Republicans dislike conservative social policies but like conservative economic policies. So the basic appeal for Johnson is ignorance of what he really stands for and how bad it is, but of course he is neither Trump nor Clinton. So he's got that going for him.

Because they are idiots. So they fit perfectly with all other people who might vote for Gary Johnson.

Protestwähler. They don't expect to win, many would'nt vote for the fringe if they thought the fringe could win.

I still don't think they're going to do anything to the general election, but Libertarians are coming out of the woodwork online. I think Johnson wants to set himself up as the Ross Perot of this election or something.

Always look for the grift. If Gary Johnson gets enough votes this election they get state funding to embezzle next election.

Apple refuses to give anything free to Trump while Microsoft will only give products.

And when you think about it, that's pretty much a "fuck you" move from Microsoft as well, since their products pretty much sucks.

Is it on the same level of Dubya fucking Asuka from Evangelion while flipping the bird to the fourth wall? Or Obama about to get down and dirty with emissaries from the Moon dressed like someone's fever dream of prostitutes?

I didn't actually stop to read it. I may be up to my tits in Lovecraftian porn, but I have standards, dammit.

I just googled Trump Rule 34.

Among the photoshops I got was a rather high quality drawing as hillary Clinton with trump's face where her genitalia should be. Like, Trump's mouth is Hillary's vagina.

So Republicans officially endorsed various Trump policies as new party policies.

Like the wall to keep the aliens out, and hating the gays some more, and putting more bible in schools, and loving coal, and of course protecting guns from people.

And Clinton came out against the TPP in her "thanks for the endorsement, Mr. Sanders" speech. Woohoo. So, like, I'm really hoping Trump will tank the Republican party, that would be awesome, because the other way is really bad, and not just for you lot.

Can we talk for a minute about how insane the Republican party platform is?

https://www.gop.com/platform/

I mean, I get that this is basically a wishlist drawn up by the hardest hardcore of the party faithful, but it really drives home how far the priorities of the party have gotten from mainstream America.

And it looks like Pence is his running mate. Good riddance.

Well, they're in favor of more space exploration, so I'm all for that. We gotta beat the commies to Mars.

Sadly the list of losers to replace him is long. But still one can hope that the ensuing fiasco of his run will ruin him for good in politics. The few times I've seen him in the national spot light he has choked it.

The preamble is nice. It still references romney/ryan and 2012. As though there hasnt been any major gop events since then. The link to download is also for the 2012 version. Seems kind of like they just didnt bother with updting it this year.

*edit i guess i expected them to say something like "this is old, new one being written soon" on there somewhere.

I'm surprised they're as up to date as 2012, I was completely expecting them to be talking about the dangers of Gorbachev's Sovjet Russia and how Bill Clinton is a terrible president.
