Why would you want to vote for a pedophile protecting party? Let alone the fascism and racism?
I'm glad you brought that up. A New Hampshire State Representative was just convicted of distributing Child Sex Abuse Material.

Amazing? I see she isn't in politics anymore! And she's been charged! That's fantastic! I bet you're just as enthusiastic about holding all sex criminals to the same standard? And making sure all the epstein files are released! You wouldn't make a poor quality "whatabout" argument here would you?
I agree. Let's release The Epstein Files. Sounds great to me 🙂
Fantastic! And the fact that the GOP is holding back the release of these files should mean that you wouldn't want to support them right?
The motion to release The Epstein Files was sponsored by Thomas Massie. He is a prominent Liberty Republican in Congress.
Here is a recent article where Massie argues to expedite the release of the files by appointing a Special Master.
Good for him, not like Ro Khana had anything to do with it eh? Funny the guy still is a republican, even though his party is covering for trump, I guess birds of a feather.
I wouldn't go that far. But I agree that the Epstein Files should be released. I mean, I posted a video supporting a Liberty Republican. Of course I want people like him to get elected. 🙂
I thought sex criminals, and those who support/cover for them, and fascists shouldn't be elected. Hmm maybe wanting people who endorse that kind of behavior isn't a good thing?
Sure. FYI, I am not the person in this video, if that was not clear.
Libertarians generally believe in limited government both on economic issues, but also social issues.
With the Libertarian government, one can expect economic freedom, and also the protection of personal liberties. This manifests itself in lower taxes and government spending, but also criminal justice reform and protection of due process and privacy.
Edited to add... we have a movement in New Hampshire called the Free State Project . They are working to concentrate Libertarians in New Hampshire from all over the US (and world).
Well, we have no minimum wage in New Hampshire, and have repeatedly voted down one when proposed by the Democrats. I think we are on the same page.
I think your comment is referring to crony capitalism, right? You will be happy to know that Libertarians oppose all bailouts. Businesses should succeed or fail based upon their efforts, not government intervention.
There is an effort popularized by Congressman Ron Paul, arguably the Godfather of modern libertarianism, to end the Federal Reserve bank, which uses various financial levers to manipulate the economy. Most libertarians oppose this type of intervention. They support the previous gold standard, where all US money was backed by gold.
Many of our people in New Hampshire own gold and/or use it to barter. They see Bitcoin as another asset free of government manipulation as well.
Final note -- I wouldn't call myself a "hater" of any group. Even though we all disagree, we all want what is best for our society. I may disagree with the policies of Democrats or Republicans, but I respect them and agree to disagree 🙂
The Free State Project puts out a ton of social media . They also have a weekly newsletter which is pretty good.
I plan to keep posting stuff here on lemmy too.
That's exactly what I find so unfortunate. Most people assume 'free markets' automatically mean the system we have now: crony capitalism. It seems like people here have a deep-seated hatred for free markets, but just to be clear, saying this doesn't make me an AnCap.
Maybe instead of voting red vote... for the actual Libertarian party? Libertarian ≠ RightWing/Red
I hear you. In New Hampshire we have a very high concentration of libertarians, but still not enough to beat the Republicans or Democrats.
As an alternative, many pro-liberty Republicans and Democrats have gotten elected in New Hampshire (about 80 of them) and they make up the Liberty Caucus. It's similar to the position of Thomas Massie or Rand Paul in US Congress... both are registered Republican, but pro-liberty.
I always like to pose this analogy for that argument. You get to choose 1 option:
a) die in a painful fire,
b) die in your sleep, or
c) catch a cold.
Two scenarios result in death (one is beter than the other), the third you live. (c) is obviously the best option, but politicians use the rhetoric of "if you vote for (c), what if the (a) voters win and you die a painful death?!" Obviously, everyone wants option (c), but then they buy into the political rhetoric, and everyone dies in their sleep as a result. They could have had the choice to live if everyone just picked (c) initially instead of second guessing.
Once enough Libertarians move to New Hampshire, we will have the concentration needed to win outright (and pick your Option C). What we are doing now moves the needle, but I think most people here would agree with you. 🙂
