Thanks, Jo

Guest Post by Eric Peters

This is written with the election still a toss-up between the Orange Man and the Diapering Man – the man who intends to Diaper every man, woman and child in the country, so as to cement Sickness Psychosis as the country’s new normal.

It is a toss up chiefly because of the Libertarian candidate, Jo Jorgensen, who has bled off 1.3-1.5 percent of the vote in states like Georgia, Michigan and Arizona that are either still in play or close enough to go either way. So close, in some cases, that 1.3-1.5 percent could decide the outcome.

Here’s where it gets sad.

It is probable that most of the people who voted for Jorgensen are people who lean in the GOP’s direction as the GOP tends, in most things, to lean more toward less government/more liberty, which libertarians tend to favor. This means, in what may be the greatest tragic irony of modern times, that people who voted for less government/more liberty may have ensured we will get much more government and far less liberty.

For the sake of not voting for the lesser of two evils, they may well have ensured that the much-more-evil is enthroned – possibly, permanently.

These useful idiots either didn’t see or were unwilling to see what it will mean for future elections if this one goes the wrong way.

A victory for the Diapering Man will not just mean that every man, woman and child in this country will be forced to play Sickness Kabuki, forever. That Needling will almost certainly be mandated.

It will also mean there will never be another election that could possibly be won by anyone remotely for less government/more liberty because the hard left that will assume power will make that impossible by cancelling the Electoral College, which weights votes according to region and thereby prevents hard-left canker sore urban areas with massive populations of leftists from dominating elections by dint of sheer numbers.

Without the EC, these urban canker sores of leftism – places like New York City, Northern Virginia, Los Angeles and San Francisco – will elect every president henceforth. Presidential elections will become pro forma, as in the old Soviet Union. You could vote.

But Brezhnev always won.

These people will also use their power to pack the Supreme Court, so as to eliminate that as a possible redoubt against their quest for permanent supremacy. They will make satraps such as DC and Puerto Rico the newest gaus of the new order and that will be that.

Face Diapering, Sickness Kabuki. Eight-dollars-per-gallon gas. UBI and do as they say.

It’s not over yet – but Jo Jorgensen and those who voted for her may have made sure it is over.

Forever.

You think Biden, who was lucky to get 12 people at a rally that wasn’t a Democratic operative, is going to beat Trump, who brought in thousands? I would be surprised if even half the votes for Biden are real.

It’s a mixed bag with plenty of blame to go around. Democrats cheat, steal, lie, and murder. Anyone with a modicum of common sense has seen their true colors over the last year. Yet Trump continued to fuck around and bitch on Twitter. He brought a knife to a gunfight, as usual. I just can’t have a lot of sympathy for his die hard supporters when they get marched to the boxcars. Not that the rest of us won’t, too, but there IS a difference.

There was 0.00% chance of me voting for either Biden or him. Eric is just bellyaching. In the 60 minutes or so that it took him to write this article, he could’ve been researching how to plant a large garden.

Those people voted for Jo because they disliked BOTH Trump and Dementia.

So, how does he know who they would vote for had Jo not been a candidate? The vote could easily be split 50-50, or damn close to it … not enough to swing the election, imho.

It doesn’t matter who you vote for so long as that vote is tallied honestly. Vote your conscience. I used to be a committed voter, doing my bit, voting for what I felt was the best person for the job. After this current fiasco, if Biden gets in due to fraud I will never vote again. Why bother? The selection is pre-ordained in any dictatorship and that is what we are rapidly approaching.

Eric is wrong on this one. It is never okay to vote for the lesser of two evils. That is why I voted for Jo Jorgensen. In my state the vote for Jo Jorgensen didn’t affect the outcome of the election, because Biden won my state by 32% (I live in California). Anyone in California, or any other state where Biden would easily win, who considered Trump the lesser of two evils and still voted for him is truly an idiot. They just wasted their vote. They should have voted for a third party candidate, which has several advantages, one of which is that it is an effective protest vote. But even in a swing state, where votes for a third party candidate could affect the outcome, it is still wrong to vote for the lesser of two evils. All that does is perpetuate a race to the bottom, which ensures that the candidates will just keep getting worse every election cycle. The fact that in a country of 330 million people the best the R’s and D’s could come up with is two buffoons like Trump and Biden is a direct result of many people voting for the lesser of two evils in previous elections.

Eric is also wrong in assuming that voting for a third party candidate is taking a vote away from Trump. If there hadn’t been any third party candidates to vote for I either wouldn’t have voted for president at all, or possibly I would have voted for Biden just out of spite. But I certainly wasn’t going to vote for the Orange Clown.

But in this case it doesn’t matter anyway, because Trump is going to win, as I have stated in numerous other comments.

Pie R, right you are. I voted for Jorgensen and have absolutely no remorse for a number of reasons.

1) If I didn’t vote for Jorgensen, I would not have voted for either the D or R candidate for President.

2) The media could have called my state, Oregon, for Biden 6 months ago. My non-Biden vote had absolutely no impact.

3) Since I could never vote for Biden, voting for Jorgensen prevented my deep-blue wife from throwing my clothes on the front lawn and changing the locks.

4) Four years ago my wife accused me of not voting for Hillary because I am supposedly misogynistic. This year I turned the tables and told her at least I voted for a woman for President, not some old white guy.

So Eric should quit whining. If Trump doesn’t win it is because of cheating by the Ds, not third-party voters.

Voted for Trump, live in strong D state. Idiot or not, going with 3rd party is a wasted vote for a couple of reasons. #1-they will never win #2-thinking you are sending a message of protest falls on deaf ears.

To claim this was a lesser of two evils affair is shallow thinking, unless one knows nothing about how to evaluate results. What has Biden accomplished? What has Trump accomplished?

Eric – doing away with the EC requires a Constitutional Amendment and the will need 38 states to agree, so not going to happen. Also the compact they are trying to set up is unconstitutional.

Constitution also specifically prohibits the District of Corruption from becoming a state and would require the same 38 states to approve.

My largest complaint, people keep making out Trump as the candidate of freedom and realism.

He’s not.

Lockdown, masking, bailing out corporations while closing small business, mass testing with incredibly high pcr, all of these are Trump policies, they are not just democratic policies, they are bipartisan policies, fully endorsed by the president and the republican party.

Some claim, oh, it’s all the states. As if republican controlled states were any different. But, beyond that, Trump declared and still maintains this state of emergency, thus providing legal justification to state governors who otherwise wouldn’t have the authority to act (and almost all of this is executive fiat under governors, hardly anything actually passed through a legislature), Trump continually touts his millions of dead figures, and fully stands by both masks and lockdown, Trump refused to stop, he tacitly, sometimes overtly, supported blatant transgressions on the first and fifth amendments, etc.

The GOP puts up a shitty candidate every 4 years, and has a voting record that completely sucks for every year in between, and talks the good talk during the campaign but votes and governs like every other freedom hater, and they wonder why so many seek out another party that more adheres to their beliefs. And then they have the nerve to blame that party’s superior candidate for their own loss.

Just imagine if the GOP was actually for small government, low taxes, personal freedom, medical freedom, free markets, and all the rest. Do they honestly think that the prosperity that would ensue would turn people off so much that they would struggle to get votes every four years? The Libertarian Party only came about because the GOP sucks so much and Nixon took us off the gold standard. They only continue to get votes because the GOP continues to behave not that dissimilarly to democrats.

I’m not saying they could (but they never even try). What I am saying is that so long as they continue to put manure on the ballot, folks who prefer something better will seek it out. The suggestion seems to be that no other parties should be allowed to participate so that the shit won’t smell so bad in comparison going forward. As someone who ran for State Senate as a Libertarian Party candidate, I was very pleased to provide a large number of voters the opportunity to cast a ballot for someone who actually was promoting liberty and freedom rather than the same old, same old.

Trump waltzed in, said “I’m a Republican, vote for me” and the rest of the Rs showed how weak they and the party were in ’16. Not only did he have some good rhetoric and good ideas but also some successes-which is a lot more than the Rs or any of the 3rd party people would have ever accomplished.

If he gets a second term then maybe the party will wake up and make a conscious decision to alter course enough to prove they are not in fact part of the uni-party, though they will never field another candidate like him.

“hard left that will assume power will make that impossible by cancelling the Electoral College”

Have any of these people ever read the Constitution. No party has the power to just “cancel” the Electoral College. Only the state legislatures (38 of them) can ratify an amendment to the Constitution that would “cancel” the Electoral College.

The states are subverting the Electoral College by making them vote according to the popular vote. 32 states now demand this. Anybody that has read Madison knows the Electoral College was supposed to be independent of state intervention. Plus, the popular vote for president wasn’t universal in the U.S. until the 1800s. The founders didn’t want the people voting for president, period.

“These useful idiots either didn’t see or were unwilling to see what it will mean for future elections if this one goes the wrong way.” Eric, you’ve had some excellent things to say, but this quote was Spoken like a true idiot! You are suggesting that the rest of us need to vote according to your world view or we are idiots?

Doesn’t matter if there is only one fool or two fools, or ten in the running. It would be foolish to vote for someone you don’t respect.

The chances of me voting for someone I don’t respect are zero. But fact check, Biden and Trump are two sides of one coin in the same pocket. Your the fool if you think Americans can vote our corrupt controllers out of power. 9-11 was a bold demonstration to the entire world that mass murdering psychopaths control the central levers of power in the U.S. That won’t change without a fight. Corrupt power yields only to superior power. Placing your hope in elections is its own fools game.

I was registered as Libertarian for a long time, and considered voting for Jo for a short period of time. But with the Lolbertarian party’s stance on having open borders, along with Jo’s statement of support for BLM/Antifag persons (not the organizations, just the people in them… a difference without distinction), there was no way in hell I was going to vote for someone who displays such a lack of intellectual discernment.

The Lolbertarians are very slavish in their promotion and application of their version of FreeDumb, and most of them can’t distinguish the forest from the trees.

Agree. Her open borders and pro-BLM stances disgusted me. They were not only anti-heritage American, but also contrary to the position of the more thoughtful and prolific writers among the Lew Rockwell crowd…except for one or two suffering from TDS.

The national libertarian party lost all credibility years ago IMO, having proferred goofy leftist candidates like Johson and Weld. Harry Browne was their last principled candidate. Ron Paul of course was ideal, but he chose to run as a Republican last time around, knowing, I assume, that he could carry freedom’s message more widely than otherwise.

Where I voted, most libertarian candidates at the the local levels were worthy of support.

Didn’t vote for Jorgensen; not endorsing; didn’t vote at all. However, could it not just as easily be presumed that most Trump voters might have actually been satisfied had Jorgensen won?
If so, then with regard to Trump voters, it could be said that “For the sake of not voting for the lesser of two evils, they may well have ensured that the much-more-evil is enthroned – possibly, permanently.
