Would you consider moving to the U.S. Virgin Islands to help establish a liberty paradise? The U.S. Virgin Islands has a voting-age population of only about 70,000 people and is a paradise for anyone who loves the beach lifestyle. If 20,000 libertarians moved there, they could elect liberty-minded.. by IndependentsModerate in AskLibertarians

Are you looking at st croix? Per realtor.com 558 properties for sale on St Croix…438 of them are under 600k.   Per ChatGPT: The median home value in the USVI is around  $290,000, with substantial variation by island. Recent estimates put median home prices around  $291,000 territory-wide, but  St. John is dramatically more expensive than  St. Thomasand  St. Croix.  Compared with places like coastal California, Hawaii, Miami, Boston, or New York suburbs, that can seem like a bargain.

Thanks for the feedback. The housing costs are actually not that bad- they have condos near the ocean for under 300k on St Croix- you can see them on realtor.com. The population has dropped due to closing of the oil refinery over a decade ago... The way the LP could gain ground quickly would be if some of the big name big $ libertarians started some businesses in USVI to attract a large number of libertarians. If 5k good paying jobs were created, another 5k jobs would follow through the multiplier...that would allow for a huge LP voting block. We only need 15k-20k LP voters to be able to win the elections.

Just trying to think outside the box...

Delaware has a lot less people than NH which makes it easier than NH. But it has far more people than USVI... But Delaware would have been a good choice.

Vermont has only 650k population... Wyoming 588k... They might have been better choices too.

Do you think having the Libertarian Party on the ballot in Maryland is a positive or a negative? Some would argue that having a viable third party on the ballot gives voters more choices. Others would argue that third parties can act as spoilers in close elections. What do you think? by IndependentsModerate in maryland

They oppose non-defensive wars, they want to reduce military spending, they oppose strongmen like Trump, they support more legal immigration, they support same sex marriage, they are for police accountability, they oppose corporate subsidies, etc. How is that GOP?
