Why not at least vote for the one with the best policy for taking care of the enviroment (aka home)?

So you think I should vote Libertarian? Probably will anyways, just because there is not much of a difference between Trump and Biden.
Libertarians believe that a magical sky daddy known as the 'Invisible Hand' will take care of the environment. Literally nobody is worse on environmental issues than Libertarians. At least the Republicans give it lip service instead of pretending that it'll be fixed with fairy dust.
Libertarians refuse to admit that money is power. The unaccountable accumulation of money is the unaccountable accumulation of power.
The only way you can be a Libertarian is by denying this obvious truth.

Libertarians like myself are capitalists, we want lower taxes and regulations not policies that will hurt the business sector and ultimately the economy. Personally I don't believe the environment is in all that bad of shape and it will not influence my vote in 2020.

“Libertarians” either are social darwinists or are oblivious to the presence of social darwinists: wealthy “rugged individualists” who want NO restrictions on anything they choose to do - or how they choose to do it. The only acceptable role of government in their eyes is to protect them, their mass of money, and their destructive methods of acquisition, from *everyone else*.
Outside of that, government can go straight to effing hell....

I like a capitalist policy with a good dose of socialism and libertarianism. Keep the peace and as long as I'm peaceful, leave me the fuck alone to make an honest buck.
Those who care about the enviroment have spent years attempting to regulate and improve the errors of the industrial age. Not that shit stain orange and friends care.
If you don't like clean air and water that is fine by me. But if you approve of fucking with the air and water I plan on using (the stuff from earth) please leave. Go somewhere where smog and carcinogens are fun and let the people who want to breath alone.
Thanks.
LoL, what did I tell ya'll? Nobody - and I mean N O B O D Y - Is worse on the environment than Libertarians.

I don't know beta... I know some pure Libertarians that harp on me for not owning a fucking bicycle. Unless US and Canadian libs are different.
40+ years of steady corporate brainwashing to make you think the gubbermint is beyond evil
one thing they forgot to tell you is corporate interests and the elite OWN the government. so if you're paying enough attention they're actually outing themselves as evil lol

Thanks for demonstrating your lack of knowledge about libertarianism and libertarians, I’m sure your vote will make the difference you want to see
'Libertarian' in the US means Libertarian Capitalism / Anarcho-Capitalism..
Everywhere else in the world 'Libertarian' means Libertarian Socialism / Anarcho-Communism, which is the political system people like Noam Chomsky support.
US Libertarians are so captured by Koch bros propaganda that they usually don't even know that Libertarian Socialism is a thing.

My water is clean and the air I breath is fine. It would make sense to me if we focused on China's pollution or the plastics in the ocean. Again as a libertarian I believe in minimizing the government and stopping overregulation of the business sector.

No wonder I hate Chomsky.
When they say they want deregulation they mean for themselves (billionaires) not for the average joe.
There are over 1,000 water systems in the US that are exactly like Flint MI. So no the water for many Americans is not clean. Our infrastructure gets a grade of D and even Trump admits this. Infrastructure includes our water systems.
You should research Neo-Liberalism, the economic period we've had steadily since Reagan until now....... Maybe you'll find that our economy is already deregulated.

Neo-Liberalism mean everything for business including government ownership and fuck everyone else.
Neo-Liberalism means the economy is way too complex for mere humans to control. Only a free unregulated market can do what's right.
