Newly minted Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen is touting that she’s the “freedom candidate."

“The choice isn't one or the other but the one that gives you the most freedom! Make the decision that benefits the most people and not some 'lesser evil,'” the Clemson University professor tweeted on Monday, two days after she was nominated by the Libertarian Party as their presidential standard-bearer in November’s general election.

Ross Perot is back!

[Zathras]

Ok that killed the chance of Libertarian Candidate being used to flip close races.
Never heard of her.

[decal]

She any relation to Christine?

[SamAdams76]

What happened to Vermin Supreme?

[Menehune56]

You have to an old-timer to remember that one!

Jorgensen supports individual liberties and considers shrinking the government a major priority. She favors non-interventionism, free and open trade with other nations and promoting nuclear power through deregulation in order to reduce CO2 emissions. In terms of healthcare, she supports a free-market healthcare system over the current system or single-payer.[12][13]

In a Libertarian presidential primary debate Jorgensen said she would immediately stop construction on President Donald Trump's border wall and eliminate quotas limiting who can immigrate to the U.S. During another primary debate Jorgensen said she would "open up the borders" and blamed anti-immigration sentiment on disproportionate media coverage of crimes by immigrants. She argued that immigration helps the economy and the blending of cultures was beneficial.[14][15][16]

Those voting third party in the face of what Dems have become will be morally culpable if Biden wins.

[Erik Latranyi]

Yes, the libertarians are for open borders, trespasser rights and climate change garbage.

They have become completely unacceptable for constitutionalists.

[StAnDeliver]

Cool this reduces LP influence on GOP votes, her down-ticket tailspin is going to genuinely hurt the LP nationwide.

Trump should be the beneficiary, clawing back PV in CO & MN & NV. If Trump got every Gary Johnson vote he would have flipped ALL 3.

331-207 in 2020 would, in my opinion, implode the Democrats for a generation. Pence may very well get Trump's 3rd Term, and the decision by LP to lay down their arms this year is a big piece of that puzzle.

Libertarians are not for freedom despite their rethoric.

Their policies would lead to a world run by Cattle Barron's with hired guns.

They would literally argue points while the ship is burning and going down.

[sheehan]

they say Ls are just disaffected Rs

the pothead Gary Johnson got 4.5M votes in 2016 - they’ll get around 10% of that (I hope) this round

some won’t vote ... but I’m hopeful with Trump’s SCOTUS picks of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh (plus 2+ more next term), and all these unconstitutional lockdowns from the chinese virus, they will come around.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

No Trump supporter is going to vote 3rd party. I just can’t believe how tone deaf the LP has become. We are at a precipice in this country. If Trump doesn’t win in November, we’re going to be speaking Mandarin Chinese.

[griswold3]

Ok. Open the borders, but you must END the welfare system at the same time.

[DugwayDuke]

“The choice isn’t one or the other but the one that gives you the most freedom! Make the decision that benefits the most people and not some ‘lesser evil,’”

This says all that needs saying. Every choice is a choice between evil and the lesser evil.

[Flavious_Maximus]

She is for open borders. This “Libertarian” candidate will peel off votes that would have otherwise gone for Biden.

For once, the Libertarians will help Trump.

[Calvin Locke]

You have to an old-timer to remember that one!

Nah.

Probably required worshiping in the required campus "diversity" courses.

[556x45]

Don’t think so...Ls are liberals honest enough to admit they’re cheap.

[JudgemAll]

It is the liberal party, not libertarian.

Cannot wait for the hysteria

[xrmusn]

Surely you mean George!

Yes, it is still Lew Alcindor and Cassius Clay.

I also would not lose a lot of ‘sleep’ were they to try again to remove ‘Under God’ from the pledge solely on the premise that I didn’t ‘learn it’ that way.

And yes, REAL boys/men have a ‘thingie’, girls DON’T.
