Yep, I’ve known several libertarians. All cool enough people, but their party just doesn’t seem to capture a spirt of fire. They just always seem so lackluster and no charisma lately.
Gary Johnson seemed like a decent person. I disagree with his tax policies by a lot, but his emphasis on personal/individual liberties resonates with me. I’d like to see Dems take up and run with the idea of individual liberty. Which they do, for some things. But not for others. (Meanwhile, Republicans are mostly for individual liberties as long as those liberties are socially conservative, oh, and they also think corporations should have liberties.)
I did like him. He just didn’t have the strongest presence when it came to speaking though. I think the libertarian party really needs a great speaker to break thru the noise.
