    Even I could not vote for HRC, I didn’t vote in that one.

      I was going to vote for Johnson (I live in Cali, so, whatever) but my SO promised to be extremely pissed at me if I voted for Johnson and Trump won. Johnson got a lot of grief for the Aleppo gaffe (meanwhile you had Trump increasing the shit/air density every time he opened his mouth) but he was IRL an extremely reasonable candidate and an extremely reasonable platform compared to the alternatives.

        I’ve met Johnson in person and I’m afraid to say he’s the exact same business conservative politician you get all over the Southwest, with a libertarian veneer to match.

        All he cares about is deregulation as a panacea and tax cuts as a corporate bailout. You’d very likely see the same kind of DOGE cuts and tariffs we’re getting today, if we’d lived under a 2017 Johnson presidency.
