If you thought the 2016 election was a shit show, the Libertarian party just bumped it up a few notches. 

The party dedicated to extremely limited government and completely open free market economics held its national convention on Sunday, and boy was it exciting. 

From one dude stripping on stage, to a bunch of white men yelling, the convention was filled with awkward moments that perfectly sum up the 2016 election season.

Seriously, Chairman wannabe James Weeks stripped on stage. 


He was eventually kicked out.

This man was very excited.


These guys seriously don't like former Governor Gary Johnson.

At least the jams were good though. 


Marc Allan Feldman delivered a very passionate speech. 


The whole process was very, very professional.

In the end Gary Johnson won the nomination for the second year in a row. You know, the guy who called Trump "a pussy." 


Bonus: Can you find the Doc Brown in this group of Bernie Sanderses?
