And he picked a gun control vp who suggests that gary will side with him on that issue.



Voted for him in 2012, wont vote for him this time.

Wait, are we talking "ZOMG BAN ALL TEH GUNZ" kinda gun control, or more of a "Hey guys, maybe we need to do something other than stick our fingers in our ears?" kinda gun control?

A few gems from the Libertarian convention

 

[Jack V Savage]

Got pretty heated there, though. I wonder what percentage of Peterson or McAfee supporters will back him in the general.

So basically, it's like if the WR had a convention.

What a circus.

It doesn't help that this convention was held in Florida.

It doesn't help that this convention was held in Florida.

It also doesn't help that they're libertarians.

I think gary will have better luck getting bernie supporters than libertarians.

Say what you want about the party, but a gun control libertarian is akin to sanders choosing madoff as a running mate.

This morning I saw a clip from the debate where Johnson was asked if the US should've intervened in WW2 and his answer was "I don't know."

Did the question specify militarily, or did it include lend-lease?

On a side note... anyone willing to volunteer context for the libertarian debate thing that the images, gifs and tweets are from?

Would be awesome to have a 3rd voice in the debates.

What's amazing to me is that Johnson and Weld are both more qualified to be president than the GOP nominee and have deeper roots in conservatism. As much as people rightly make fun of libertarians (and the convention was, indeed, ridiculous), they did a fuck of a lot better with their nomination than a supposedly major league party did.

I'm not surprised motherfucker.

Cognitive Reflection Task
[66] is a set of 3 logic questions that have correct and intuitive answers. Correct answers on these questions is said not just to measure intelligence, but also to measure a person's ability to suppress an intuitive response in service of the cognitive reasoning required to solve these problems. The measure was completed by 9,721 participants (4,971 men; 7,384 liberals, 1,267 conservatives, and 1,070 libertarians).

Results.
Table 3 shows that libertarians find the correct answers to these questions at a slightly higher rate than liberals and moderately higher rate compared to conservatives (also see Figure 4).

Interpretation.
The cognitive reflection task provides a behavioral validation of the hypothesis that libertarians have a more reasoned cognitive style. In our dataset, this measure inter-correlates with both Need for Cognition (r = .30, p<.001) and Baron-Cohen Systemizer (r = .31, p<.001) scores, with libertarians scoring higher than both liberals and conservatives on all three measures. Taken together, a convergent picture of the rational cognitive style of libertarians emerges (Figure 4).

Tom Woods gives his thoughts on the Johnson/Weld ticket.

I heard that the runner up in the Libertarian party gave him a replica George Washington flintlock as a sign of good faith, and he threw it in the trash.
