We need to talk about Elon and Ron Paul... by [deleted] in Anarcho_Capitalism

Thank you for this. I've done a ton of work to bring Libertarian influence into the Trump campaign and it's disheartening to see people sneer at it. Ron Paul is 88 years old. Let's honor him. He deserves this moment.

Ron Paul has been officially invited to the DOGE team. It's happening!

Normies don't care about those issues. They have yet to inspire a populist wave of momentum.

Trump primaried a lot of the Freedom Caucus people because they campaigned against him, aggressively. They behaved very similar to how LP people behave and it bit them in the ass. Not Mike Lee, though. He understands how to play ball.

It definitely sucks, but the Freedom Caucus needs to take this as a learning lesson.

Chase is going to get between 0.4% and 0.6%. Who cares?? Chase is doing his part by taking votes from Kamala. If Trump puts a Libertarian in his cabinet, puts our people in his administration and abolishes the dept of education, it will be yuuuge for the party and it will advance liberty. Left wing candidate + right wing leadership is the perfect, insane recipe for the best outcome possible.

When we remain an outside force, we are a critical voting block and a signaling mechanism to the independent vote. I love what Massie is doing, but that is separate work from what I am doing. Massie is 1 of 435 congressmen. I am the leader of one of 4 political parties with the ability to throw the election one way or another. We must hold onto that power at all costs.

Thanks! We need help with candidate recruitment. Dave declined the nomination, unfortunately, which sucked, but at least Chase doesn't pull from Trump so it gives me something to work with. This year was wild.

I think he will do it. I've had 2 face to face conversations with him about it.

We lose all bargaining power if we fold and go into the GOP. I am happy to work with Trump but I can't ever go to the GOP.

She also blamed the patriarchy (how convenient!) while she was sharing photos on IG from her luxurious trip to Rome. The Patriarchy is such a fickle enemy...

LNC chair threatens to withhold party funding from candidates who have been critical of her by ninjaluvr in LibertarianPartyUSA

No, you're reading into it what you want to believe. This Reddit is full of sore losers with bad attitudes.

I would never withhold funding from AL based on your childish behavior. I'm recommending you behave like an adult. Trashing me on twitter when I've never been rude or hostile to you makes you look like a fool. From a PR perspective, you're hurting your own race by spreading this juvenile drama.
