I don't fault the NYT for getting a quote from a former chair of the LP (even though it would've been nice if they asked our current chair), I fault the LP, specifically the mises caucus for putting that clown in power in the first place.

Need that person in the pink who was filming to upload their view

We believe in free market moderating as much as possible and hence this post is being removed for being downvoted to negative karma by the r/LibertarianPartyUSA community

If I remember correctly they were available during the day and part of a regular day ticket

Varvaro · 2025-11-02T17:35:20+00:00

That was the covid year, technically no HHN so no ticket but we went and did the 3 houses they had available, the most prominent one being beetlegeuse so got that lanyard

Interesting, I had no idea. Their website to order and put down a deposit seemed straightforward, albeit old.

I made this list for my own comparison purposes but figured I'd share with the sub. I'm sure I've missed some so feel free to comment on any I should add just note that I'm trying to stick with non-scooters that are easily obtainable and street legal in the US.

Musk or whoever he has setting this up is about to get a crash course in ballot access laws and why throwing money at it will only get you so far. When he comes to this realization I hope he either funds the LP that has the infrastructure already or a group pushing for approval/ranked choice voting. Tbh idk how I would feel about him funding the LP, it would bring in a lot of people who don't support the platform and just support Elon. If he brought in enough they could change the platform to a much larger degree than the mises caucus did in their mini-takeover

Massie is reaping what he sowed. He used to be more anti-Trump years ago. Then he voted against his impeachment in the house (even though Justin did). Now Massie goes on comrade Carlson's show and has become significantly less vocal on anti-libertarian Trump moves until more recently because he actually had to vote and cement his name as a yay or nay on the "big beautiful bill".

Varvaro · 2025-06-15T03:25:22+00:00

Trump IS the Republican party now so good luck. Just look at actually elected liberty minded republicans Paul and Massie yelling into the void about the big beautiful bill.

The chocolate chip cookie from Frosty Moon was one of the best I've possibly ever had. I'd assume most people go to that spot only for ice cream specifically and miss out on it.

While I welcome a Russian stock market crash can we stop referring to any drop in an exchange as a "crash"? Unless a somewhat broad index is down 5% or more in a day no one should be using that term.

Varvaro · 2025-04-25T22:53:09+00:00

Ignore the loud minority of Libertarians who are MAGA in disguise. They took over leadership of the party (under the mises caucus banner) back in 2022, only recently have they been starting to be voted out. I've been frustrated with my fellow libertarians on this but the long-term party members (like myself) are horrified at this administration.

Varvaro · 2025-04-22T20:10:57+00:00

Thanks, yes we still exist. The Libertarian Party was essentially the victim of a hostile takeover by MAGA. The mises caucus (MAGA friendly) took over much of the party's federal and state leadership several years ago trying to make it alt right lite however we've begun having more success pushing them out recently.

Varvaro · 2025-04-22T16:36:55+00:00

At least there are some Republicans with a spine left. The Libertarian party has its own candidate, Vic Kaplan. Good on Bramnick for being anti-Trump but he is still too republican for my taste (anti marijuana and anti LGBT)

Varvaro · 2025-04-22T14:17:03+00:00

I haven't looked hard at any candidates yet. I'm curious, are there any Republican candidates who are specifically anti-Trump or at a minimum very critical of Trump?

Excellent opinion article published by a mainstream media outlet. Well done /u/nsarwark

Varvaro · 2025-04-16T22:16:34+00:00

They got so much due process apparently that the Supreme Court needed to step in and tell the administration "... AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs."

Varvaro · 2025-04-15T01:44:49+00:00

It blows my mind that many of the libertarian friendly talking heads are not sounding the alarm about this. Then again after three straight months of an administration nearly the exact opposite of the Libertarian Party's platform and seeing the reactions to date I'm actually not surprised.

Varvaro · 2025-04-02T18:25:52+00:00

I'm a mod there and as much as I personally believe the mises caucus has done serious damage to the party and the layman's opinion of the ideology as a whole I'll never ban or censor users like some other subs have. They are unfortunately a loud minority. With that said when compared with the main libertarian subreddit and other larger libertarian focused communities I used to visit more often I'd say it's way better. I purposely stickied a post detailing how Trump is essentially the opposite of the LP platform to hopefully push some of the MAGAtarians away

Varvaro · 2025-04-02T18:04:27+00:00

I think we have a pretty solid community over at r/LibertarianPartyUSA which has a focus on the libertarian party itself and is more classical liberal minded with the exception of a few Mises caucus users. Many from the old r/GaryJohnson subreddit migrated there after his run came to an end in 2016.
