Comparison Of Gary Johnson And The Green Party

Improved Essays
“Regardless of who wins, an election should be a time for optimism and fresh opportunities.” That is what Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson said about the 2016 presidential election. Everybody knows about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton battling for the White House, but what a lot of people don’t know, is that there are also two other candidates running for president. Those people are Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. Gary Johnson is the libertarian candidate, and Jill Stein is the Green Party candidate. Both of them have very different views about the different issues. Stein is definitely more liberal than Johnson, but they both have the same goal, to beat Clinton and Trump and become President.
Gary Johnson was the former governor of New Mexico

    Green Party Statute The Green party plans on implementing a $10 raise on bail for Canadian youth and adults. This additional income will be put towards a preschool, primary and secondary education fund for Aboriginal communities. This will decrease the number of Aboriginal women entering the sex trade, increase productivity in First Nations’ industries of choice, as well as promote a healthy and optimistic way of life. This can all be achieved by providing more career opportunities for Aboriginal youth. The additional $10 raise is a minor, but impactful charge adjustment that will not inconvenience criminals or force them to reject paying bail altogether; those capable of paying bail will still be willing and able to pay this small additional fee.…

    Root canals, used-car salesmen, lice, cockroaches, and brussels sprouts; these seemingly unrelated items do have one common component: Americans view these more favorably than Congress, according to a 2013 poll. Upon hearing this, I was awestruck as to how Congress had stooped so low that only 8% of Americans approve of the lawmaking body that represents us. I quickly learned the reason why: the intense hatred that both parties in Congress have for each other and a complete unwillingness to work together. Reflecting on this, I realized, “Why would I be a member of either party and associate with those creating problems in America?” Instead, I decided to create my own political party, which would work to make America a better place by standing for compromise, fiscal responsibility, and social morality.…

For both sides of the political spectrum, this election is just too important to let a third-party candidate win. The next president will also get to choose supreme court justices. The balance right now is 5-4 leaning conservative, and a third-party candidate will completely throw off the balance. Not to mention, individuals that lean strongly one way politically understand that letting a third-party candidate choose justices could be devastating.…
