“Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it’s very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history.”

Trump added, “Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years.” (In 2016, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson earned more than 3% of the popular vote – a high point in the party’s history.)

Trump left the stage after 34 minutes, marking one of his shortest campaign speeches to date. The Libertarian Party is expected to select its presidential nominee Sunday.

    I was told that OP was a Russian bot who only ever shits on Biden in an attempt to win the election for Trump by saying things centrists don’t like on a small fledgling platform.

    This doesn’t seem to be shitting on Biden or the Russian propaganda that I’ve been told about.

        Standing up against bullying is something centrists cannot understand, for they seek the approval of bullies.

            You’re gonna sit there and pretend that I’m not describing a broader pattern of behavior on lemmy (particularly this community) toward OP in particular?

                  Yet there isn’t bullying. Those comments get removed. Calling people out on bs opinions isn’t bullying. People using strong words isn’t bullying. Grow some fucking skin, champ, this is the internet. And before you start crying about it, no, this is not bullying.

                    A subset of the hateful comments being removed makes it not bullying?

      No reason to think OP is a bot - what does that even mean? OP is merely an idiot.

        Don’t tell me that. I know better. Tell it to the paranoid centrists whose immediate conclusion when they see someone say something that they don’t want anyone to hear is that the person saying it must be a Russian bot.

        OP is merely an idiot.

        And, naturally, abuse.

      I’m sorry to disappoint you. I’m currently being taken to Putin’s office.

      F Trump! I laughed so hard watching him get booed. Love it.
