No, I read the numbers. Based on your numbers, and the rules of the electoral college, the Libertarians win.

Did you read anything I said?


Under the rules of the electoral college, someone needs 270 electoral votes to win, or a majority. Since nobody gets this, the election goes to the house of representatives, where each state gets one vote. Here is the breakdown of who won the most states:

Socialists: 10 states

Republicans: 11 states

Libertarians: 22 states

Democrats: 7 states

So, It's looking good for libertarians :)

How? Why? They call us the Great Satan and profess to destroy our only true ally in the region. They sponsor terrorism around the world. If we attempt to cozy up with them, they will still hate us and Israel, and it will only destroy our relationships with the Saudis and other Arab states. This policy is stupid.

Free Group USA key points:
*Ensuring the security of your life and stuff, and keeping the other things to a minimum. How will this be done?

*Free healthcare.
*Cutting other public spending (ridding welfare, making school by-choice)
*Cutting military spending by 100% (they've got so over funded over the years, they can go by for at least a few years without money), and cutting all military branches except shore watch and air defence.
*Being lax (stricter than now, but still lax) on guns and drugs.

America is a far worse curse than Iran in the Middle East. America's been bullying Iran since the 1970s, when they broke free of American controle (America still holds the Iranian pretender to the throne, he lives upon the Atlantic Ocean, I think) and supported the polarisation of the traditional Sunni Arabic kingdoms (Arabia) against the new Shia government, and America sponsors far more terrorism. It wasn't as heck for sure the Iranian special forces that funded Mashriq, it was the Americans (and likely still are through Gulf accounts). Being friendlier to Iran would be a good idea, especially if they ever develop atom bombs.

Libertarian besides the drug part...


Libertarians (in America, real life, anyway) want to disband government healthcare, and they do support legalising drugs, though.

+, not enough folk realise what a big problem this is. Antibiot are way overused. And this problem is with some pesticides, too, but who cares about food, there're plenty in America.

You can't get better relations with a country who considers us the Great Satan. It just won't work.

There are promising leads with Iran. They agreed to negotiate on the nuclear deal. They are letting some American prisoners go. We need to fix relations before they get too bad.

Also, some countries have been put on the list for political reasons (Reagan w/ Iraq). While some of these countries on the list are legitimite, it lowers the credibility of the list as some of the membare may not be true terrorist supporters. Also, is there a difference between rebels and terrorists? If not, then we are also supporters of terrorism.

In the end, we need to take this opportunity while it lasts.

Is the free group a faction in the libertarians, or a separate party?

With time, the havoc we caused in the past with Iran will fade away.

Also, in 1944 we were at war with Japan. By 1950, they were supplying us with manufacturing support for the Korean War. The status quo of today may not hold true for the future.
