OMFG! While I'm not a Libertarian, it's nice to see somebody who actually gets these sort of interviews and goes with it. Anytime I've seen interviews on Daily Show, Last Week Tonight or any of those shows, I'm always like, don't they know what sort of show they are being interviewed with/for? Now if only we can get the media to start giving Jill Stein some airtime too...

That was great *quality

I vehemently disagree with a lot of libertarian thinking. In fact, I disagree with pretty much the entire ideology, but I would vote for this dude over Trump or Clinton.

I disagree with 1/2 of libertarian thinking, simply because I think they get too simplistic with 'just make government tiny, that's always best'. Clearly, deregulation is NOT always what's best, nor is eradicating all social programs (keep in mind, that includes roads, parks, police, firemen, the EPA, the FBI, the FCC, the FEC, Social Security, Medicare/aid, etc.). Most of those programs have SAVED America money and helped individuals too, both in the short and long term, not cost us or hobbled them, when you factor in all costs involved.
BUT, their social stances are EXACTLY what I want...equal protection under the law for all, freedom to decide what's immoral to each individual, and limits on government powers, especially against citizens.

If I can't vote for Sanders, I likely WILL vote for this guy over Trump or Clinton. Even though I don't think he has a chance to win...it could help in 4 years.

Some better stuff from her. This was a little less in your face.

Then vote for him. Not on platform, but honesty. And besides, the other two are definitely worse and are only out for the rich.

How about off decency alone? We have fallen into a pit trap of voting for people (Who are bought out by the rich) just because they promise us things will be different under them...do it Chaos, for your own morals.

Well, A) I can't* (I live in NZ and I'm not a US citizen) and B) while he's hilariously weird, I probably disagree with more of his platform than Hillarys (I'd need to spend a bit more time researching his stance on the issues)

* although they really should let the rest of the world vote in US elections; it would be a lot saner.

Whether you vote for him or not, having a third party in the debates is good for everyone.

Serious question: does he actually get to participate in the debates? I don't think I've ever seen a 3rd party candidate in the "big" debates.

He has to be polling at 15+% and then he gets a podium. I believe he's at 10% or 11% now, so it's a very real possibility with a little exposure like this.

As for third party candidates showing in the big debates, Ross Perot did back in 92, but the rules were different back then.
