Not The Bee: Rest In Peace Libertarian Party- Check Out The Left - Statist Nominee, Chase Oliver! (This Is WORSE than Gary Johnson's Nomination!)

🧠 These people are stupid!
Frankly, the best nominees I saw from them in recent memory were Jo Jorgenson and Harry Browne. This nominee is Johnson 2.0, who, IMHO was one of, if not the worst, I've seen) I believe it was Mike Lindell who reported that some votes were flipped from Jorgenson to Biden (through a double flip) I'm not certain of all the details, but I do recall hearing about it back at the time.
What was wrong with Gary Johnson?
Seemed like a decent guy to me: a popular and populist Republican Gov of new Mexico.
Watch the 2016 Libertarian debate with Mc Afee, Petersen and Johnson, moderated by John Stossell. He would not stand for religious freedom over catering to the LGBTQIA(P) community on the issue of states' rights. Both McAfee and Petersen would.

Ok, that one's substantive.
( I admit to watching the specific segment more than 3 times to ensure I heard Johnson correctly)
Johnson was a decent (not great) Republican governor but then he became a single issue candidate as a Libertarian Prez candidate - Legalize recreational marijuana - that's it.
Yeah, I remember that. Definitely a gotcha; I was hoping he'd recover. I assume he was trying to make the point that America comes first, and was corralled and edited into a gaffe.
Johnson was an oblivious douche at best (unlikely) and controlled infiltration at worst (almost certain).
Everything he did moved the libertarian party away from economic liberty and responsible social freedom toward economics??? and libertinism.
It was disgusting.
Then again, the LP’s original goal may have been to move that whole train of thought into a sandbox away from the RP to keep those influences in check while also weakening the RP as a whole.
The LP needs to be reintegrated into the RP, and there’s no better way to do it than by running a clown for nominee.
This is not only amazing, it’s the best outcome we should have expected!
I'm pretty sure he had no idea at the time what Aleppo is.
Just to add, he also knew nothing about foreign policy. In many interviews he was clueless.
I voted for Gary Johnson once. What ruined his career was his “What’s Aleppo?” Answer to a question about Syria.
