Republicans have the market cornered on selling out....That ground is all yours.Look at what's going on in Michigan and Wisconsin right now, and try to tell me how my vote would have counted for anything.No you wouldn’t haveIt means that nobody is a mind reader....When I was still voting libertarian, I would have abstained if that option wasn't available.
I think that it is yes.
Those people are so arrogant and self important that they think that not participating makes them superior in some weird way.
I made that point somewhere else.
Still doesn't make you right - it just confirms that you are irrelevant.
As a libertarian who did cross over to vote for Trump, I can tell you that you're not going to recruit any more this way. I voted for Gary Johnson in 2016, but Trump in 2020.
.You're going to have to make the case that Republicans are worth supporting. The good news is that you have the right words, smaller government. The bad news is you're going to have to actually do it, not just talk about it.
This year Democrats did it for you for those of us who did by going nuts. But do you want to keep relying on that? I doubt I'll vote Republican in 2024
Not really looking to recruit people who think that shutting down the Government is good Government.
Not really looking to recruit people who don't understand the system.
President Trump gained pretty substantially with the AA vote and The Hispanic Vote.
Those voters and suburban women need to be further recruited.
OK, but then why are you saying libertarians should vote Republican if now you're saying we don't share your priorities?
I like you a lot, Billie. Not trying to argue with you. Just discuss, that's all.
My philosophy is that government is the worst solution to every problem. When is the worst solution the best solution? When it's the only solution.
Police, military, roads, courts, management of limited resources, recognition of property rights are 90% of what government should do. Those all require one arbiter. You can't have 12 police forces where 8 think someone is a criminal and 4 don't. You can't have three militaries. You can't have different property lines between your house and your neighbors.
But anything the market can do, the market can do better
It's okay to be a Libertarian 364 days a year.
I share a lot of the "ideals" of Libertarians.
(Not the drugs - not the shut down the Govt. stuff.)
But on election day - every election day -
Realism has to take over.
It Libertarians ever want a seat at the table - they need to win House Seats, Senate Seats, Governorships.
Can't just think that any real change can be made at the Presidential level.
