    if businesses are left to their own devices, they will “develop the technologies that will power us into the future, not using carbon-based fuels,”

    One additional note, wrt his wiki page. I gotta say, quitting the Dem Party because Barack Obama didn’t get us out of Iraq as promised is a more respectable position than I’d expect out of an LP candidate. After growing up with the likes of Ron Paul and Gary Johnson dominating the party, this feels like a ray of sunshine peaking out behind a very dark cloud.

    Setting aside his naive take on climate change and education, I don’t see much in immigration or criminal justice reform or foreign policy to explicitly hate. But I also know he’s showing up as the more liberal wing of a party that’s got a rather nasty John Bircher streak. Feels like he’s showing up in the negative relative to a Trump campaign that’s sucking up all the libertarian racists and cop lovers.
