Most votes "for" your party is actually a vote against your party canceling out the opposition. EXAMPLE: A) 51% B) 49% In this example, 100% of the people that voted for "B" actually was just voting to cancel "A's" votes. 98% of the people that voted for "A" were just voting to cancel "B's" votes. Only 2% of "A's" votes weren't cancelation votes. The problem is when you vote "for" a Libertarian you are also voting for a Democrat at the same time because of the mostly conservative views held by Libertarians, by NOT canceling a Democrat vote.

Stossel I love you and I'm a young libertarian but I have to say that Gary Johnson was a clown and his policies we're off message from any libertarian ideas I've ever seen. I think libertarians have bipartisan pull because of classic American philosophy, and I think with that you can force the the old parties to confirm to the ideals. Also considering the amount of alt-righters in the comments who tell me they used to be libertarian I have to wonder how libertarian groups are failing to adequately convey the ideals, and I have to wonder how much of that is influenced by the libertarian party.

Media spin is where the idea of Trump failing comes from. Second, my contention is that those alt-right people either never fully understood or fully believed in libertarian ideals. Meaning that libertarians of the day are not conveying the ideas properly. I can't say for certain since I didn't read "Atlas Shrugged" (I became a libertarian after reading the "Second Treatise of Government") but something about those libertarians seems to put me at odds with them.

Another note...do the people of the US really understand what true liberty is? Many people in the nation are immigrants and never lived in a democratic society. Schools do not really teach the elements of the Constitution or the intentions or beliefs or the founders.

Gary Johnson was a good Governor of New Mexico but he was sick and dependent on marijuana during the presidential campaign. Worse the vice-presidential candidate was for gun control which is in opposition to the Libertarian Party platform.

It's a good thing that the Libertarian Party does not sell out to corporate interests like the two major parties, but let's be honest about Johnson. He is undoubtedly sincere and knowledgeable about domestic policy, but he doesn't know anything about foreign policy due to paying too much attention about what was going on in America and lack of curiosity about what is going on outside of America. This is the second time l've seen Stossel making excuses for him. He literally didn't know what Aleppo was, and he embarrassed himself for it.

I think you Libertarians are going about it all wrong. Conservatives and Libertarians want very similar things for our country and I'm Conservative. Libertarians need to run on and infiltrate the Republican party which would bring things back towards sanity in the Republican party, name for the party is just a name. Libertarians infiltrating the Democrat party would be just to WEIRD... Don't change your ideology's or your values just take them with you into the party that will have you, and by doing that you will have changed THAT party for the better! I hope I made sense.

It's a smart move if you want to get more votes; not so much if you want to build a strong libertarian movement and achieve a free society, since a lot of the people Gary brought in do not have any respect for property rights, which is the crux of libertarianism.

I'm not disagreeing with you about our goal but being LP is left and right and to the extremes because the framework of our belief is solid around our personal responsibility even if that's smoking a blunt or making my own whiskey. I should have those rights. If I believe those things are wrong then that is up to me to influence those around me not the government.

The best Libertarian Party candidates for president were Ron Paul and Harry Browne. Why did the party shift to nominating the likes of Bob Barr and Gary Johnson? The big problem is that the Libertarian Party has a lack of eloquent candidates who can express and defend the libertarian principles in a charismatic way. Any takers out there??

Unfortunately, most people just vote against who they don't want, not for whom they do want.

The Libertarian party wont have any chance of winning until we can specify 1st and 2nd choices for elections. Libertarians are more similar to conservatives than they are to liberals.

As a paying party member myself, my opinion is, yes, ballot access and try to get into the debates, but also, focus remaining attention on the least partisan districts in Nebraska - one of only two states that are not winner-take-all, and the least partisan of those two. If the party can get a single elector in 2020, it will change the entire dynamic for 2024. Of course, we have to have a solid candidate too. I like Gary Johnson, but I can see why he came off as a goofball to a lot of people. We need a solid thinker, who is not too aspbergerery - someone like Mary Ruwart, maybe even someone exactly like Mary Rewart.

2016 was the first election that I was old enough to legally vote. I voted #Liberty

I turned in my republican voters card for a libertarian one. For a long time I thought that the libertarians were some political evangelists, the jehovahs witnesses of the political sphere. But then I started listening and I started wanting big government out of my life. I started wanting the country to be a meritocracy of the public sector. I think the libertarians have a ways to go, but I also think they're learning. The candidate needs polish to deal with the gotcha questions. The party needs its public face to be more than "hey we're the weed party"

Gary Johnson's final answer to, “What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo?” was not, “And what is Aleppo?” It was “Well, with regard to Syria, I do think that it’s a mess. I think that the only way that we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that at an end. But when we’ve aligned ourselves with - when we’ve supported the opposition of the Free Syrian Army - the Free Syrian Army is also coupled with the Islamists. And then the fact that we’re also supporting the Kurds and this is - it’s just - it’s just a mess. And that this is the result of regime change that we end up supporting. And, inevitably, these regime changes have led a less-safe world.” On September 9th, 2016, the day after the interview, Gary's idea was put in to policy as Russia and the United States agreed early Saturday on a joint effort to attack terrorist groups after a national cease-fire in Syria.
