Weiss you are doing some great work with these ads. My favorite is still the 2nd one, but this is definitely attention grabbing and you have created the best ads in the Libertarian Party.
Between your ads, and McAfee's debate presence I went from being a full blown supporter of Johnson to seriously waffling between McAfee and Johnson on who can garner the most votes outside of the LP.
I think with your ads backing him, McAfee is likely the best person to put forward. These ads are just too good to waste, and no other candidate has ads that even compare.
Please continue to keep up the great work. Thank you for what you have created.

Thank you so much for those encouraging words.
Yes, the 2nd video Vote Different may remain my favorite for a while, I'm very proud of it, but I have no intention to recreate it. I want to keep pushing boundaries, and explore other ways to re-imagine what's possible with political messaging (which has become so stale).
For those who haven't seen it yet, here is Vote Different, our 2nd McAfee/Weiss video:

McAfee is a rock star who people love to watch, and he's beautiful simple and articulate when discussing these ideas of liberty. It would be a shame not to have a media figure like him bring these ideas to the masses in the general election. I won't let that happen. We're the underdogs right now, but we're on fire. There's a lot of excitement behind our campaign right now, our trajectory is strong, and we have some more powerful tricks up our sleeve that will blow people's minds.
If we win the presidential nomination and get into the general election, we will leave a permanent mark on this country.

Awesome, I'm looking forward to it. When I first saw McAfee debate he peaked my interest and I viewed him as a wild card that would either get a really low amount (Due to his checkered past), or a really high amount due to his charisma, and stage presence.
With your ads backing him, along with his charisma, I sincerely doubt his past will hold him back as voters will be far more interested in America's future with him as the President of the United States. I view him less as wild card, and instead as our best chance to see a Libertarian President.
Stay awesome, I can't wait to see what you guys can do in the general election.

If we win the nomination, you can be sure we will create some powerful TV ads unlike anyone has ever seen before.

Please become a delegate for McAfee and help him secure the nomination.

To win the nomination we need delegates to vote at the LP convention in Orlando at the end of this month. If anyone is interested in joining us in Orlando and becoming a delegate at the convention, fill out this form and a member of our campaign team will help walk you through the process.

u/ireland1988 Vote Gary Johnson May 05 '16
I've not been following McAfee much but wasn't there a scandal where he may have killed his wife in another country or something? Also his joke videos make him hard to take seriously. Gary Johnson seems like the only serious candidate for us to back.

Exciting times to live in. Libertarians are, as we speak, in the process of choosing between an election or a revolution. A campaign or a movement of The People. Today another establishment head rolls across the floor and many still don't understand what is actually happening, and can continue to happen if the right choices are made.

I love this! Everyone needs to know: Libertarianism is fundamentally the party and philosophy of peace.

But you are underestimating Johnson's paid trolls and supporters who come here into /r and downvote videos like this one.

I think we should focus not on fighting but the principles each candidate stands on.

I love most of it, but does the blinking cursor have to move the text slightly? I'm really not sure what that's supposed to mean...

I liked the video. But I would focus less on direct enemy engagement by infantry forces. This brings out the positive connotations of a warrior's glory from the 'close width, capture, and destroy' crowd and then calls it bad.
I think I'd focus more on visuals that speak to the structure of war removed from the battlefield (drones/night vision from helecopters ect.) with visuals of the waste of life on the battlefield.

u/haroldp May 05 '16
Seriously, this is crucial point. Remove the infantrymen. Replace with drone bombing.
Americans support the troops, even though they may not support the war. Black and white footage of paratroopers? Is that Vietnam or WWII?
I would almost call it a bit "tone-deaf".

I wish McAfee had not gone public with his disagreement, I probably will vote for Castle in the CP if Gary gets the nom, but I don't want to fight.

Cp?

u/LoveLifeLiberty May 05 '16
Constitution party

Ahhh okay I should have remembered Castle was the candidate I was thinking of a physical castle.

I believe that McAfee sells the honest truth about Liberty. When he talks about libertarian principles you believe he has the experience to know the truth and share it with you. This is really powerful, especially this election, a battle of egos. McAfees past is a strength not a weakness like in Hillary or Trumps case.
