Welcome to LibertarianPartyUSA!

Finding anything good about the Trump re-election is daunting. Gene Healy of the Cato Institute does make some good points defending Trump.

Did any win/do welll?

Why is it next to impossible to get any info on this?

Don't really care for Trump winning, but at least Kamala lost. (And yes that would be reversed if the election went the other way)

Put me down as cautiously optimistic for Trump's 2nd term, I don't really care for MAGA since it's a collectivist movement but hopefully Trump will fulfill some of his more libertarian promises even if I'm personally doubtful about it.

As for Kamala, hopefully Reddit will learn it's lesson and go back to being an anti-establishment platform but I doubt it.

Er.. yeah. The title is sort of the point. I'm sure some small stuff was won as always but well..

I really hope we do, LIBERTARIAN FTW

1 I like to understand why libertarian against Minimum wage then how we would insure people paid enough to live with how costly everything has become explain it like am 5

2. Also, i don't understand their stance on education and why there shouldn't be a federal standard.

3 why are libertarian against health care .I'm not talking to UHC, just like there, so be no insurance. Without insurance, who pays for health care it so expensive that I could never afford care.

Thanks, everyone. not trying to fight. I just wanted some views before I go vote. I am from Minnesota and very purple, but neither Republicans or democrats represent me agree a lot more with the libertarian views. But I can't find a party that I 100 agree with to vote for. Maybe all not vote for president, but this is only 2 party system dumb

Edit. I have decided not to vote there, no party, i 100 agree with to vote for thanks for the Discussion

My ballot was:

President/Vice President: Chase Oliver/Mike ter Maat (Libertarian)

Senator from Pennsylvania: John C. Thomas (Libertarian)

US Representative from Pennsylvania's 5th district: Wrote in myself since I did get formally nominated by the LP but couldn't make the ballot due to the insane amount of signatures required (The Republican nominee attended a few of our LP county meetings in the past but she has not realistic path to victory and I don't really care for that party anyway)

Auditor General: Reece Smith (Libertarian)

Attorney General: Robert Cowburn (Libertarian)

Treasurer: Nickolas Ciesielski (Libertarian)

State Senate from the 17th District: Wrote in Harambe

Pennsylvania State Representative from the 168th district: Wrote in Shrek

On the one side there is the Chase Oliver types, with reason magazine, Cato institute, more of a focus on identity politics, open(ish) borders, more liberal, etc.

And then on the other side there are the Dave Smith types, mises cauces, no open border, and the people that are mad about the last minute deal that propped up chase, and also a bunch of people voting for trump as the lesser of two evils.

How much longer will these two groups be able to keep the party from imploding? And how do you think election results could potentially change things?

I miss Jo Jorgensen. I wish she would have won in 2020.

I can't stomach voting for Harris or Trump. I like Chase, and I think the Libertarian platform is honestly what this country needs to avoid going the way of Argentina in a couple decades. I recognize that many would say I'm "wasting my vote" but I can't bring myself to vote for a candidate I know would do far greater harm to our country (and both Harris and Trump would in different ways). But I don't think Oliver will break 2% nationwide. When will people wake up about our national debt?!

Have tried contacting my county Libertarian party point person but no response. It would be nice to meet some Libertarians in real life to have discussions and try to start some grassroots local efforts. Anyone here in south central PA?
