He's a douche. Total sell out. I'm a librarian and every election period they sell out to the biggest moron. That said.. I have always voted third party as a protest vote. I do believe that the current choices, or lack their of, is leading a lot of people to expand their minds, which is good. The two party system is a trap. It's a good cop bad cop set up, been that way for a while. By constantly blaming the other party for all the ills of society they take all the Blane off of themselves and all the crap they are pulling. It's a shell game. And just like every she'll game you got to have guys on the inside and guys on the outside to make it look legit. They have it down to a science. They see us as we are.. fools to be deceived for our life blood, aka our money. So even though I don't like Johnson a vote for him will still send a message. Plus, your hands will be clean of wold war three or the fall of anerica.

Except it doesn't matter as we don't vote for presidents. It is the electoral college and there is not a majority of any third party.

Yeah, not in favor of WW III but it's going to happen and the US will fall, in part, as a result

@MasterLee: That's a really good point, btw

@dystopianAntihero: it may be a forgone conclusion that wwiii is inevitable. With Iran on the fast track as well as North Korea to nuclear weapons, the outlook of avoiding it is bleak.

@coppercoil You're absolutely right about the two party system. I'm a former libcap turned libsoc btw, and was a Regional Coordinator for Ron Paul '08.

@LesDeplorable: the story of the Clinton's. She stole files on many people when she was 1st Lady. There is so much pay to play you cannot tell the difference anymore.

@LesDeplorable: I haven't heard of it. I will look at it.

@MasterLee: Iran and N Korea are not a problem in my mind. Iran used nukes as a bargaining chip to join the global economy. They'll never develope nukes,and their facilities will eventually be taken out by Israel, justs as Iraq's were. That will probably by the catalyst. N Korea can be belligerent, but it's just saber rattling.

In the end western imperialism will be the primary cause of WW III, and it, in conjunction w the coming global economic collapse it will be out downfall. Good-bye neoliberalism, capitalism, imperialism and nationalism. And good riddance, I say.

@dystopianAntihero: I have to disagree. I was part of those top level discussions in the latter 80s. I just don't think the news is accurate.

@MasterLee: What news exactly?

MasterLee · 56-60, M

@dystopianAntihero: the media spin of the 'deal', the inept reports of 'saber rattling' and the notion that Iran won't develop nuclear weapons. They are fast tracking them.

@MasterLee: I could care less what the corporate media thinks, that's my own take away. But regardless, Israel will bomb those facilities just like they did w Iraq, mark my words.
