So I got thinking about the Libertarian Party candidate for president … 🗽

I’ve made no real decision on who I’m going to vote for this November but I did vote Larry Sharpe, Libertarian for Governor in 2018 and Jill Stein Green for President in 2016. But I’m no fan of Howie Hawkins although I do think I may have cast a vote for him when he ran for State Comptroller as I like his divestment message.

I voted for President Obama in 2012, but I’m not really into major party politics but I did like some of the practical things he did in the White House. Maybe Joseph Biden would be like Obama, but Biden is so elderly and I think we need fresh ideas. But I do like Biden’s pragmatism – his age 60 for Medicare and legalizing Cannabis are good ideas in my book. His climate change plans are realistic, he would be an effective advocate for conservation and more renewable energy. I’m not allergic to Trump as the liberals but I wish he had been more competent when it came to Coronavirus and more forceful at pushing back on social distancing.

So that leaves the Libertarian candidate for president. I don’t know much about him or his policy positions but I’m learning more. Probably Biden is better than Trump, but I don’t know and honestly my vote doesn’t matter as Biden will win New York. That said, I do hope there are checks and balances in congress – I think we need to have somebody who can say no to the excess of the White House.

I have time to decide… 💭
