Instead of trump or Biden, would you vote for me?

[Agape93]

I would be on the libertarian ticket, as a centrist. Here are a list of my policy positions.

Taxes:
Cut taxes on citizens who’s households make less than $100,000 a year by 50%.
Raise taxes on those who make $100,000 a year or more, by 75%.
Raise taxes on major corporations by 75%, and moving money or operations overseas causes them to pay the extra 25% in a yearly exit tax.

Medical care:
One is not forced to buy insurance they don’t want or need.
Hospitals must lower their prices and make them publicly available to see in advance.
Abortion costs will be capped at $100 and have zero restrictions.
Birth control will cost no more than $30 a month.

Religion:
You’re religion or lack of religion will not be impeded.
Those seeking public office must sign an oath to the constitution, over their deity of choice. If they don’t, they are disqualified.

Civil rights:
Nobody shall be prejudiced against someone’s religion, race, ethnicity, orientation or gender.
The right to own guns will be restricted, but largely untouched. Meaning maniacs, abusers, violent criminals and those that just want big guns to make their tiny balls seem bigger, won’t get them or get certain kinds.
Laws against some sex acts, such as cohabitation sex and anal, will be abolished.

Law and order:
Police will not detain or kill anyone without a demonstrably justified cause.
All police are required to have functioning cameras on at all times.
All police are to receive therapy and better training.
Police are not to have military grade weapons and equipment.
Weed and certain other drugs will become legal.

If you have any others I haven’t addressed, let me know.

Would you vote for me?

[MCheetah]

No, although you're better than Biden at least (but that ain't saying much). As much as I don't like the corporate elites, they could just up and move away from America if they ever felt like it, crippling the country's economy. You attacking the corporate elites would cost Americans millions of jobs. Tax them a little more yes, but you're basically doing the Bernie playbook with that plan and they would just go to Canada or the UK.

You also want to seem to have people (mostly men, statistically) pay for slutty women's promiscuity, and I'm not down with that, although I do support abortions given how overpopulated the world is.

You also used the wrong "your" for religion and are attacking peoples religious rights, which is also not a separation of church and state (it's pretty atheist of you to do that; and I'm an agnostic-atheist myself).

For tolerance, you can't force "acceptance" onto people under rule of law in any free country. That's what turned The UK into utter dogsh*t right now, with their complete lack of freedom of speech and expression. It's pretty utterly draconian and SJW, actually. That's a red flag right there for me to campaign against you just like I would any far-leftist right now.

That gun law is also pretty draconian and goes against what the second amendment stands for. All you'd have to do is declare anyone you dislike as being "a threat" or "unfit for gun ownership" and you've just completely destroyed the second amendment in a very sneaky, expert-Politician move that Bernie himself would be proud of.

Your lack of a laws against false rape accusers or Hollywood pedos like Epstein or Spacey, also doesn't win any favor with me, and makes me thinks your priorities in this category are a bit out of wack.

"Police will not detain or kill anyone without a demonstrably justified cause." They already don't. And this is coming from someone who doesn't like cops at all (never been arrested though; I just think most of them are on a power-trip).

"Weed and certain other drugs will become legal."
Nah, f*ck that! Unless it was going to become corporate and so heavily taxed and decriminalized, it'd ruin stoner culture forever. In that case, I'd be down for it.

So yeah, in an election between you and Biden, I'd probably vow to never vote again and just leave America. You really just sound more like a moderate progressive (as much of an oxymoron as that is). Or rather, a slightly less insane modern Democrat.

And I'm a somewhat-left leaning Centrist that voted for Trump, for what it's worth.

[MrOracle]

You DO realize that raising corporate taxes simply means that those additional costs would just be passed on to the customer, which would give foreign companies an advantage or shrink the market for those products, putting tons of people out of work. And raising the taxes on the "rich" as you would wouldn't begin to pay for the cuts in taxes on the middle class and poor, because there are far, far fewer rich.

Many of your other positions are very contrary to libertarian ideals as well. I get what you're going for, but you've simplified things too much and left huge gaping holes in your logic and budget that would cripple the country. You also lack the authority to do many of the things you talk about as president - the president isn't a dictatorship - you'd need a Congress that was willing to work with you to get much of your agenda completed.

I appreciate what you WANT to do, but you don't have a realistic plan to achieve it, and in my opinion you're a bit too naive at this point to be put into that position. But keep thinking about it, and listen to various YouTube videos from people across the political spectrum, and refine your positions (and, perhaps more importantly, learn WHY some of them wouldn't work and figure out how they could be changed so that they COULD work). You're much further along than a lot of people, but you've still got a ways to go.

[Pighttussy]

Exactly. Thank you. These demtards think raising the corporate taxes and taxing the rich is going to make everything better. Raising minimum wage is just going to boost inflation which means the poor are going to suffer more, not to mention that companies will let people go in order to reduce expenses and raise prices of their products.

[Archerer]

@Pighttussy Yeah, at the end of the day people are just shitty and it is very hard to make laws that people won't be able to manipulate in their favour

[DizzyDesii]

The abortion and birth control is what i dont like. Also, i want to be done with guns period but i know that won't happen. The “no prejudice” is fine in a work environnent but dont expect it to stop outside of that. I actually wish cohabitational sex and anal wasn't a thing. I want weed illegal. These would be my reasons for voting for someone else or no one at all

[Whatthefluff]

Not bad, I'd definitely vote for you over certain other people. But I would like to know your beliefs on much more than this. Internet privacy? LGBT and other social topics? Environmentalism? Any limitations or screenings concerning gun control? Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies? Social welfare and government assistance?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I don't vote... Politics have gotten too fucked up for me to take part in the circus they call politics these days... That said, you'd be a step up over Kanye West🤣🤣

[CharlieBadger]

You're not eligible to be president based on your age.

[Cryostatic]

No. Your healthcare ideas are archaic and other people have tried to make them work. They don’t.

Get in line with single-payer like every other civilized nation or fuck right off.

[OlderAndWiser]

TPC estimates that 68 percent of taxes collected for 2019 will come from those in the top quintile, or those earning an income above $163,600 annually. Within this group, the top one percent of income earners — those earning more than $818,700 per year — will contribute over one-quarter of all federal revenues collected. https://www. pgpf. org/budget-basics/who-pays-taxes

[pajamasam]

As much as i hate the two party system, voting 3rd party simply takes votes away from trump and Biden. I think the two party system as well as the electoral college need to be abolished, but i don't want to do that unless we know a better system to replace it immediately.

I just dont think i could vote third party in a presidential campaign. The last time a third party candidate won was Lincoln. And he was really only "technically" third party, because the Whig party was slowly falling apart at the time and after the 1860 election the whig party pretty much disintegrated.

I love your views on things, but because you would identify as libertarian means raising campaign funding would be extremely difficult because most donators will see "libertarian" and think "nut job" even though you aren't.

Now in local, state, house, or senate campaigns. Id go for a third party candidate all day long. But nation wide, the electoral system partnered with the two party system makes any third party chances of winning presidential elections extrenelu scarce, regardless of how great the views are.

[egarcia1360]

I definitely disagree with some of your stances which are inconsistent with libertarian principles (specifically the ones regarding taxation, price caps, trade restrictions, and gun control), but you're definitely better than those other two dimwits. If the three of you were the only options, I would pick you in a heartbeat.

Luckily, though, Jo Jorgensen is running :)

[Astarlessnightsky]

Whats your policy on education?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Also i can't vote for you, since i am not in the US. And i got no idea how the percentage of Tax increase/decrease would affect the actual percentage on taxes.

[Agape93]

I believe in comprehensive, factual information, from history and science, to sexual education. Teachers should be paid a proper wage, considering we entrust the education of the next generation to them. Colleges and universities should be cheaper, and the money paid to them should go to the teachers, improving the school and improving the curriculum b

[Astarlessnightsky]

Whats your position on the environment? Policies on carbon footprint? Useage of Plastic?

[Agape93]

Hunting should be allowed as long as it’s for conservation or to eliminate invasive species, like wild boars. Power plants and factories need to find better ways to handle their pollution. Plastic needs to be recycled. I don’t know enough on carbon footprints to much know, admittedly.

[Matthew2222]

Not a chance. Your plan shows a shocking lack of understanding of how things work now.
"Cut taxes on citizens who’s households make less than $100,000 a year by 50%. "
Why? Those households already pay a very small portion of the total tax, a far lower rate than households that make more than 100k per year. Not only that, but you fail to understand the vast disparity in incomes that fall into that. A single person making 99k in a cheap state in the Midwest is far better off than two working people making 100k in NYC or San Francisco.

What is a "Major Corporation" and why are you taxing them? The US needs to be more competitive, not less. You fail to understand that the true burden of a tax has nothing to do with who ends up paying it. High corporate tax rates are not going to fix our problems.

I could go on at length. Your platform fails to address any major challenge the US faces today, while making many matters substantially worse. Go back to your day job.

[Adam1978]

Sounds like a disaster, you can't change taxes that much that fast. The whole society would collapse even if your intention are good. You must give them time to adapt and change their business model. And since your against corporations you won't be able to run, you would be filtered out before the public has a say in the matter.

[Jjpayne]

I will vote for you! Sign up :)

[ShortCircuit]

Your positions are fundamentally incompatible with the libertarian platform. However I will say that you would still be a preferable candidate over literally any Democrat--neoliberal or progressive, as well as many moderate or neocon Republicans. However, I would still sooner vote for just about any (actual) libertarian whose policies aligned with the party platform, or better yet, a radical Rothbardian or Misesian libertarian that took limited government even further than the official party platform.

[ShortCircuit]

I would also sooner vote for classical liberal Republicans like Rand Paul or Thomas Massie, or even just conservatives that are somewhat authoritarian but good on economics like Ted Cruz.

[ShortCircuit]

So to clarify, my order of preference from most preferred to least preferred would be: my (radical) Libertarian candidate of choice > Jo Jorgensen > any other Libertarian candidate that was consistent with party platform > my (classical liberal) Republican of choice > my (conservative) Republican of choice > Trump = You > any other Republican > any Democrat

[wankiam]

voted yes but realistically you could go hell of a lot further

[TadCurious]

Some of your policy positions are either already law (laws against unmarried sex and homosexual acts have already been struck down by the Supreme Court) or are unconstitutional themselves (the state cannot prohibit a person from being prejudiced; it can only prohibit certain acts that exhibit prejudice, such as racial discrimination in hiring).
And then you don't meet the Constitutional requirement of being at least 35 years of age.

[jkm1864]

I'm a libertarian and I won't ever vote libertarian because democrats scare Me that much. We won't ever have a real third party because democrats suck that bad so I'm sorry but that's the truth. I do wish republicans would vanish though so libertarians would have a chance because I just think everyone should be able to live their lives the way they see fit without other assholes trying to control them.

[Reaperbot666]

taxing the rich won't work. because they just raise the cost of goods and services to match it. so they can maintain there margins.

also they replace human workers with robots whenever possible.

[Dargil]

Trump. Some of your platform is good, some not so much. Not in a debating mood today.

[0112358]

Good lord no. You managed to make AOC look economically literate.

[Sargentcaptain]

Out of you, Trump and Biden, I'd go Trump. In reality, I'm voting for Jorgensen.

[I_love_Jaguar]

My vote always for you

[saffoler]

You don't sound very libertarian on taxes (more socialist) or guns (more GOP); but I would still vote for you over Trump or Biden.
