Ready to race!
One gaffe? Jesus Christ, where do I begin?
You have Gary Johnson, a "former" Republican, who would rather privatize education and abolish the Department of Education, which would directly benefit those with the most money. He still believes in conservative economics, which doesn't support the lower or middle class. He's really just a right wing nut, a wolf in sheepskin clothing who supports marijuana legalization but minus the phony pandering to the religious right. Not only that, but he has been in politics for years yet doesn't seem to have much knowledge on international affairs. Even Trump is more knowledgeable when it comes to international affairs and that's just pathetic.
Here's the cold hard truth here: If you're voting for Gary Johnson then you likely haven't read anything about him and you're simply voting for Johnson in attempt to be a contrarian and pat yourself on the back because you didn't vote for "the lesser of two evils". Problem is that you still voted for "evil" and that evil aligns with Trump more than it does Hillary.
In other words, you're likely not informed enough to make a proper decision. And I can feel the eye rolls from Johnson supporters who have no intention of truly studying Gary Johnson and are just voting based on platitudes and catch phrases.
Oh, and weed. Can't forget the weed.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather vote for someone who will strengthen the middle class because the middle class is what makes this country strong.
Wow! So out of touch. There's too much here to address my head is spinning. I'll pick a few points then.
I don't expect governors to know much about international politics. At the end of the day, you have an army of advisers to coach you through any subject that happens to be your weak spot. No one knows it all.
I have looked into all of the issues I care about, and while I don't agree with everything Gary Johnson stands for, I agree with most (including privatizing education and disbanding Education Department). No need to bring up economics. Let's face it, that has been beaten to death and we could each find very well researched studies to support our own views, so let's just avoid that dick-measuring aspect.
He pulls votes from both camps, so your rationale of still voting for an "evil" is a moot point since I genuinely agree with him the most.
Weed? Never touched it, never will.
As for me? I'm middle class. I'm a military officer. I've deployed. I have a bachelors in Journalism (minors in Aerospace Studies and Mandarin Chinese) and a masters degree in International Affairs and have been published twice in the Journal of International Affairs. I'm a family man with a wife and three kids. I've done my homework and my research on any issue I feel is important. Since my livelihood is directly controlled by the government (Congress actually), I have a lot to directly lose by actions of the government, probably much more than you do. And out of the three top candidates, Gary Johnson is the only one who doesn't scare the crap out of me as CINC, especially because the amount of illegal wars/conflicts we find ourselves in is staggering. I don't think Hillary or Trump would lose any sleep by throwing in and my troops in harm's way over some boondoggle. I'd rather take the isolationist.
