Gary Johnson Says He Mostly Agrees With Bernie Sanders
You would think a communist and a libertarian would be diametric opposites. But not in 2016, the year party politics went completely off the rails during the race to nominate the worst possible candidate:
Gov. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party candidate for president, said that he agrees with 73 percent of what Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) says, citing that libertarians agree with socialism as long as it’s voluntary.
You read that correctly. An actual quote from Gary Johnson, Libertarian nominee for POTUS:
“And look, libertarians agree with socialism as long as it’s voluntary.”
Similarly, cats don’t mind getting wet, so long as it’s a dry wetness.
In the unlikely event that there are any readers out there as clueless as Gary Johnson, I’ll point out that socialism is by definition not voluntary. Money is appropriated from some and given to others. If the money were given voluntarily, it would be charity, not socialism. You wouldn’t need government to impose it.
On a tip from Torcer.
