Libertarian candidate Marc Victor says people on both sides of the aisle want him out of Arizona's Senate race, but he's 'undeterred' by those who say a third-party candidate can't win.
Attorney Marc J. Victor speaks to the media on Feb. 11, 2019, in Chandler, Ariz.Libertarian candidate Marc Victor says people on both sides of the aisle want him out of Arizona's Senate race, but he's "undeterred" by those who say a third-party candidate can't win.
Victor said the two-party system on the course it's on now -- where he said civility is vastly lacking -- has put the nation in a "constant struggle." He's not running on his personal opinions but what he calls the "live and let live" philosophy: "Some people say well, you know, 'I'll vote the lesser of two evils or I vote for the same old thing' To me, that's the wasted vote. To me, a vote for either a Republican or Democrat, if you're frustrated with how things are going, that's the wasted vote," Victor said.
"I think people automatically assume that there are Republicans that are being siphoned off from Blake Masters to me -- that is not what I'm seeing. In fact, there was a poll early on that showed slightly more Dems are voting for me than Rs voting for me, but I can just tell you anecdotally from the emails that I get, they're pretty evenly split from both sides.
"I'm onto a bigger project, right? We need world peace. We need to get the globe going in the right direction," Victor replied. "We've got to get the reasonable people around the world to coalesce around a principle that we call the live and let live principle, and if we don't I don't think it overstates the case to say it could be the destruction of the human race.
"Right now, it's about calling your opponent names and finding dirt upon them, and I sit there and I ask myself, 'What is it you're for? What are you for?' I hear that you hate the other guy, and it's always these attacks against the other person. This is embarrassing. I mean, isn't there something you can say for your own positions?"Looking to 2024, he said Americans should start thinking differently about their options for president.
