Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

Really? Because I think libertarians are terrible because at it's core libertarianism will turn most people into slaves while crowing about freedom.
What about his platform suggested that's what he was up to?

It's inherent in the unrestricted capitalism of libertarianism.

I'd be more interested in seeing a libertarian in the office than a neoliberal like Trump.

It sounds like they need better algorithms. Maybe after some of those former members of Buzzfeed learn to code, they can help out there,
Or perhaps national GOP members are like, retweeting a lot of the same videos and images as white nationalists, using a lot of the same hashtags as white nationalists, and share a lot of popular phrasing and language choices with white nationalists.
That does not really damn the right.

The same way it should not damn the Left if a black masculinist black supremacy cult was retweeting and liking a lot of the same stuff they did.
