Socially liberal:

He's pro-choice (but has stated before that he is personally pro-life, but the current law of the land is the opposite). 

He's pro-gay marriage. 

Wants to make it easier to get work visas for immigrants, but supports a "1 strike you're out" policy. 


Fiscally conservative: 

Wants to cut government spending by 25% across the board. 

Completely eliminate the income tax (and IRS) and replace it with a 23% consumption tax. 

Eliminate the department of education. 






With that said, Johnson isn't the most libertarian candidate ever.  Although his version of "libertarian light" is still way better than the big government policies of Trump and Hilldog. You want to actually send a message in November? Vote 3rd party. This is the first election in a while that both major parties have nominated such unlikable candidates. If people didn't just vote along party lines I'd say a 3rd party would have a legitimate shot at getting ~30% of the popular vote.
