Luiz 4,253 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson has recorded his most support among registered voters in recent memory and could land a spot on the debate stages this fall, a new poll finds. A national Morning Consult survey conducted July 8-10 has Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton narrowly leading her Republican counterpart Donald Trump 39 percent to 37 percent, within the survey’s margin of error of 2 percent. Johnson, meanwhile, receives 12 percent, up from 10 percent in mid-June. Thirteen percent don’t know or have no opinion. Without Johnson in the mix, Clinton leads Trump 42 percent to 41 percent, while 18 percent don’t know or have no opinion. Morning Consult polled 2,001 voters. If Johnson continues on this trajectory, he could be on the presidential debate stages alongside Clinton and Trump. The former New Mexico governor needs an average 15 percent of support from the national electorate as determined by five selected public polling groups. http://rare.us/story/a-new-poll-finds-gary-johnson-recording-his-highest-numbers-yet/ I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Im not a fan of the Libertarian party, but I kind of hope he gets the 15% just so we can see him debate; would that be the first time a 3rd party candidate has been on the debating stage? I really dunno. Also, he's like the only sane person in his party though, lets be real 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the most recent example, I'm pretty sure there are plenty more. We've had 3rd parties win the WH before lol... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterOfSpain 8,331 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Why is the left so weak in the US? If I knew it had any chance of getting into the Parliament, I'd definitely vote for the Greens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the two-party system of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew it had any chance of getting into the Parliament, I'd definitely vote for the Greens. Because they're not demanding. You see people on the right be like "we're gonna do everything we want" and then you see people on the left be like "we have to compromise with republicans". It's like "no, **** the republicans, they're the enemy". Seriously, the democrats had a majority in both the house and senate in 2008 and had a dem president, yet they didn't do as much liberal **** as they should've. Making friends with right wingers is a bad idea and too many on the left don't seem to get that. Conservatives are the enemy damn it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
