I think they are all idiots. If votes came around again my cat would have my vote lol. 

As I understand people can vote for anyone with an option to write in a name. Snoopy got a huge number of votes at one time. 🦊

It's interesting that the votes for Republicans is leading thus far. Does this imply that Gothics tend to be Republicans?
Or in reality I'm the only person who bothered to vote at all?  🦊

Good thing I'm not a US citizen. We've got a far better election system.

I consider myself an economical centrist (which is basically a communist by American anarcho-capitalist standards) and a libertarian when it comes to one's personal liberties. Minus guns. Gun control is a good thing and guns being available for the stupid masses only makes world more dangerous. I don't care how you drink, smoke or fuck though. Prostitution and hard drugs should be completely legal and regulated. In theory a drug addict only hurts oneself and when it extends to others, they belong to either rehab or jail. Having sex for money is only good and fun so long as there aren't pimps involved and you wear a rubber.

Which country do you live in?

 

Gun control only works if the criminals agree to abide by it and the government doesn’t use it to control the masses.

In theory a drug addict only hurts themselves, in reality they hurt everyone who loves vets them.

Rehab only works if the addict can move away from the environment that endorsed drugs.

Jail is a great place to ferment, train and learn how to market drugs and crime not rehab.

Prostitution is held up on the abuse of men/women who have become marginalised slaves.

It’s a myth and lie that there are independent prostitutes, so called free spirits will be reigned in by criminals.

Rubbers or contraception only works when adults take responsibility. Which they don’t. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many abortions every year.

Just a few reflective answers to your libertarian views. Nothing personal 🦊

Finland. A very socialist country by your standards.

"Gun control only works if the criminals agree to abide by it and the government doesn’t use it to control the masses."
I don't think that way. America and some certain other countries are fucked because you've never had gun control in first place. It's incredibly hard to control something that's been unregulated for so long. Finland used to be an incredibly backwater country well until the 1900's so we didn't really have that many guns available, to my knowledge. It's easier to control because of that. Of course we have some armed criminals around as well, but it's incredibly rare by global standards.

"In theory a drug addict only hurts themselves, in reality they hurt everyone who loves vets them."
True, but my point ignores emotional hurt. Enabling your loved one's addictions be it alcohol, drugs or gambling, is your own conscious choice.

"Rehab only works if the addict can move away from the environment that endorsed drugs."
That may be true. I used to live next to a couple of full-blown drug addicts. They were perfectly good people and never did anything to hurt me. They were simply dealt with awful cards ever since their birth. Or at least the girl was, the guy's backstory was always a little murky to me. Be that as it may, they're both dead now. It's a shame...
The poor girl was murdered in... 2014 if memory serves. The guy died a year or two later after serving a brief stint in prison. I don't know how, but I'm suspecting a suicide.

"Jail is a great place to ferment, train and learn how to market drugs and crime not rehab."
Perhaps in America, where jails are private businesses. In Finland the prison system is entirely state-owned and focuses almost completely on rehabilitation instead of punishment. Of course, we too have our flaws that I'm unaware of, but statistically the nordic countries get consistently top scores in prisonner rehabilitation. I wonder why. Hmm...

"Prostitution is held up on the abuse of men/women who have become marginalised slaves."
That only applies to women who "work" under pimps. Pimps are a bunch of slavers, but luckily for women of the trade, services like OnlyFans and ManyVids give them a chance to work more independently.

"It’s a myth and lie that there are independent prostitutes, so called free spirits will be reigned in by criminals."
I seriously doubt that will be a major issue. Some psychos will probably attempt to control a whore if they get the chance, but if we regulated the business, I doubt it would be worth the trouble. If they had the same rights that an office worker does, they wouldn't be afraid of going to the police whenever they're being wronged. Same applies to victims of drug-related crime.

"Rubbers or contraception only works when adults take responsibility. Which they don’t. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many abortions every year."
Exactly! If a client is irresponsible, it's the prostitute's right to deny services rendered. Refusal to apply would lead to sexual assault charges.

"Just a few reflective answers to your libertarian views. Nothing personal 🦊"
Oh no, it's great. I like to argue.

Anyone who says their happy with the way Joe Biden is running the country must be living somewhere Elise. 🦊

I'm not happy with the way he's running things but that doesn't mean I support the Republican party either. Ultimately, I don't like labels for politics but I'd be consider more left leaning than anything. That being said, ideally I'd vote for the best candidate regardless of affiliation. It's just that the Republican party is full of more evil than anything I've seen spat out from a Democrats. It's fueled by hatred, suppression, and fear. Might I add, this is coming from someone who grew up in a heavily Republican family who listened to various far-right commentators and shows 24/7. Literally, everything I heard was hateful and full of ignorance. Because, while there are exceptions a lot DO NOT like to admit when they're wrong. Instead, it's doubled down.

Normally I would say I'm independent in who I vote for. If I were old enough I would have voted for President John F Kennedy. As he was a visionary and a man before his time. Though later if I were old enough I would have voted for President Richard M Nixon. My choices are based on more than party lines. 🦊
