I want to get there, man, but he just doesn't do it for me. He's not sufficiently libertarian for a libertarian. Either he's not philosophically there or he recognizes that too high a percentage of the voting public WANTS to control the actions of others, just in different ways.
Don't get me wrong: he's not Hillary or Donald. And that's no small achievement. The best practical definition of "dilemma" which I can give is being stuck in an elevator with those two tossers and a gun with only one bullet.

Easy. Shoot him in the head, then use the gun to beat her to death. Problem solved. ;D

I just bought a Lebowski/Sobchak 2016 bumper sticker.... It was 50/50 on that or Giant Asteroid 2016 - because fuck this shit.
Lebowski would have my vote if I was American. The presidential candidates are something special to say the least

It's a given that there is no candidate that I actually support.
It's more an exercise in finding one that might potentially not be a huge mound of steaming shit.
I actually am unlikely to vote for a presidential candidate.
Or maybe I'll vote Johnson with the certainty that it's a wasted vote.
Where can I buy that shirt? Sums up my view of this election to a tee (I don't think The Dude used many puns). Anyway, it would really tie my hatred of Hillary and Trump together.

I don't really know. Someone posted the image on Farcebook and I liked it, so I saved it. I'd bet you'll find a bunch of them if you do a Google search for "Lebowski 16" or "Lebowski 2016".
