What Would You Do as Dictator?

PoS said:
The LP is the third largest party after the dems and repubs, thats fact. There have been libertarians that have been voted into office, but the mainstream media and the political scene is rigged to exclude third parties. But time will eventually prove the LP right since America is sliding backwards. You'll see this in about 10-20 years thereabouts.


Nope, charities do not fail. America became great because of philantrophic rich people, not because of welfare- in fact the nation is sliding backwards because of welfare right now. If poor people want stability then they need to stop being lazy and work for once, instead of panhandling.

The fact is that Libertarians haven't been elected to anything. In fact, they are so chicken**** that they don't even run as Libertarians, they run as Republicans. How many Libertarians have been elected president? How many have been elected to the US House or Senate? Out of all of the branches of the federal government, how many Libertarians are serving or have ever served? Hell, you guys can't even sway an election from Democrat to Republican for vice versa. Libertarians are totally useless. If you somehow believe that Libertarians are going to somehow be magically relevant in 10-20 years you have some serious problems with interpreting reality from fantasy.

Have you ever heard of Ross Perot? He ran as an independent for the presidency in 1992 and got almost 20% of the popular vote. Guess how many electoral votes he got? Yes, that's right, zero. And Libertarians only get about half of that percentage of the vote. We are currently in a phase where both parties are getting more extreme so you are in LaLa Land if you think that the country is moving in the direction of Libertarianism in the next 10-20 years. Yes, there are more and more independents every year who want to shun both major parties but they're not voting Libertarian. Hell, even Weld has left the party.

For the sake of repeating myself, I already told you that elections like POTUS is rigged by the dems and repubs. The media and corporate interests downplay 3rd parties. LP is a grassroots party with very little corporate interests, thats why they dont win.

And like I said, wait about 20 years when China overtakes the US economy, then you'll come crying to the LP.

I agree that both parties have the system rigged. But you are beyond naive if you think in 20 years Americans will be clamoring for Libertarians. What's the sense of having a party that doesn't win? You Libertarians seem to care more about what you believe in rather than actually winning anything. You are going to go to your grave being content of what you believe in, even though 99.9 % of elected officials at your death will be Democrats and Republicans. You have zero power and accomplish 0% of what you want and yet you are content with that.
 
If I was a dictator I would dictate all dictators meaningless. Their new name would be Dick Taters.

If you we allowed to replace Donald Trump as dictator, what would you do to Save the US economy from bankruptcy?

You still have democratic institutions, but you can overrule any policy you want :)

Stop giving stuff away.
 
Immediately and unequivocally eliminate the nonsense trickle down bs. The middle class are the job creators not the ****ing rich. Without the middle class to consume we see boom and bust cycles like the roaring 20s and 2010s.

Second step would be eliminate public proselytizing and end all foreign wars and all foreign occupations.

and why would anyone loan anyone "student loans" if they can declare bankruptcy no matter what?

You can get that from the federal government...and student loans are one thing they actually make money on.
