Can't tell if serious...
Also, I've never really given Linux Mint an honest chance. Always used OpenSuSE for my Linux needs.
I wonder how compatible the left is with the LP to form a temporary coalition on common ground. A Sanders/Johnson or Johnson/Sanders ticket would have a real chance I'd think.I honestly have no certainty, other than to say that the Green and Libertarian party will be increasing in numbers, both. How much, how relative, it's totally unclear. It'd be a serious mistake to think that right-wing libertarians (largely Gen X'ers) will in line with the GOP and the left-wing libertarians/progressives/socialists will just fall in line line with the DNC... That would be a very optimistic outcome for Hillary. I seriously doubt that that solidarity in either party will happen in droves. At least a third of the Republican base fervently hates Trump and a third of the Democratic base fervently hates Hillary. I heard a commentator state "It's not unreasonable to think that either of them, after a protracted 7 month negative campaigns, could enter the White House with approvals ratings in single digits." I tend to suspect that's a rather reasonable possibility. Independents hate Hillary and they hate Trump, both alienated at least a third of their base, and both are about to be exposed as massive corporate shills (Trump is certainly about to take on loads and loads of debt to corporations, Wall Street, etc to get the money he needs to take on Hillary, and he's already said so).
I foresee a drifting of party's bases or else an emergence of a third party. We've reached that point, I think, when finally last year more than 50% of voters are registered as Independents, and the only people who actually get serious, grassroots supports are (morally third-party) people like Sanders and Trump, and previously Paul.

Impossibly west-wing-esque, but it's a nice thought.
Works for me. I am running Linux Mint, a Ubuntu variation, at home. Works much smoother than Windoze. Haven't seen a blue screen of death in ages.
In related news, 2016 will be the year of Linux on the desktop.
Libertarians wouldn't compromise with Sanders (or Greens) and Sanders wouldn't compromise with Libertarians. The biggest problem is that Libertarians are so utterly committed to private tyrannies (sorry, "economic freedom" --yeah, that's not positively Orwellian) that even if there was 99% agreement on social issues and foreign policy, it wouldn't compensate of their intense commitment to destroying social safety nets (let alone agreeing to expand them).
Private tyrannies my butt. Libertarians are for free markets because government control and manipulation leads to corruption and recessions, as is illustrated at the present time. Sander's policies will make everything worse- he can't even give a straight answer where the money to fund his vanity projects will come from.
Bernie Sanders has said numerous times that he wants to tax Wall Street speculation.Private tyrannies my butt.

So does letting corporations run unrestricted. Only, instead of the government, it's the coprorations.

I think the LP needs a more focused strategy and funding campaign similar to Bernie's. Its the only way they can compete against the big two political parties.
It won't make things worse. Because now people will be able to get a good education without worrying about the expenses, and not being able to afford it.That won't make things worse how exactly?

History has shown that heavy government regulation actually favors the larger corporations so your statement is running true right now. With free markets and a small government, big business wont be able to influence the legislature to give them an unfair advantage- the playing field will be leveled as opposed to the present situation.

Funny, that's the claim of some people who run the biggest corprorations, with money they use to fund libertarian think tanks. Forgive me, but I am skeptical of that claim.
Sanders is a libertarian. Even Ron Paul said he's the most libertarian of the entire field, and that was when his son was still in the race.:lol:
No ****ing way. Socialists and Libertarians are pretty much political opposites.

On an unrelated note:
I'm currently running a freshly installed copy of Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon. I left Ubuntu after the Unity debacle. You've got to love how customizable GNU/Linux is, and how programmer friendly it is. It has it's issues sometimes with a few bugs, but overall if it weren't for PC gaming, I wouldn't even consider loading Windows onto my machine. Still, I'm shocked at how large my Steam library is; Valve has really done a good job pushing devs away from DirectX.

Well you can say that all you want but the truth is big corporations run the show right now- and this is with heavy government regulations in place, which is what you wanted.
