Libertarian Party Chooses Openly Gay Former Democrat Chase Oliver as Its Nominee, Uses Victory Speech to Rail Against 'Genocide ...
An openly gay former Democrat who once supported Barack Obama, Oliver used his victory speech to rail against the U.S. "war machine."
I don't think it matters all that much, for speaking to them at their convention did achieve a few things:
It was yet another way to show America who Trump is and share his vision.
It showed that, in addition to the Bronx, he will go anywhere, even hostile territory, to spread his message.
He probably did sway a few Libertarians to his side.
Anyone paying attention can now see that the Libertarian Party is a feckless group of malcontents, all holding wildly different views as to what "Libertarianism" actually is.
It was all worth it just for the sound bite "We want Trump, We want Trump" at the end of his speech. Consider it part of the Awakening process.
The Libertarian Party is controlled by the same group of people that control the 'mainstream' Democrats, and Republicans.. That's why they do not nominate actual Libertarians but instead nominate corrupted Libertarians with questionable histories and values.
Trump went there to make this obvious.. Trump has the most Libertarian ideals of any viable candidate since Goldwater in 68 - and the Libertarian party somehow fails to align? Not normally without corruption.. Also, Ron Paul in 92, 2008, and 2012 got more alignment from the Libertarian Party - but I would guess that's because TPTB knew they could steer the discussion away from Paul.
This. Those true libertarians spell it with a small 'L' and don't associate with the Party.
Yep, can confirm. By the time I was briefly involved with the LP a couple of decades ago, it was clear pretty quickly that they'd been co-opted by the RINOs (at least in the state where I was living).
It was kinda weird, actually. After I contacted them for local info, but before I even attended my first meeting, a party bigwig (a college prof who held some non-teaching role) drove four hours across the state to take me, a total stranger to lunch. It felt really sus, but I couldn't quite make out his intent.
I definitely noticed right off the bat, though, a goodly dose of what you might call "repressive tolerance." Like he was already trying to make sure that this newbie didn't really mean that the party should work for actual liberty.
Agreed. He definitely got at least a few libertatians questioning what theey have beentold, and they will spread the word.
Thisis just extra fun at their expense.
Probably the most insightful post I'll read today, especially No. 4.
Thank you, fren.
Now that we know freaks have taken over the party Trump owes them nothing.
I’m a libertarian.
First off “Libertarian” with an “L” means the party and “libertarian” with an “l” refers to the political philosophy.
I usually voted Libertarian as a protest vote.
I think their current selection is awesome as it will only take votes from the Democrats.
MAGA!
Awesome!
tbh i think it just exposed the " libertarian " party for what they are, controlled opposition.
They are, and probably not very different from the so called "progressives"

"Calling all Biden Voters!
Do you like open borders, drag shows, and teaching kids about 2SLGBTQIA+, but want an alternative to Joe Biden?
If so, I implore you to vote for Libertarian Party candidate, Chase Oliver!
He is essentially Biden, but without the dementia!"
Brawndo, it’s got what plants crave.
We are getting there, fren.

Wow, you mean the same party that nominated the "super duper real libertarian" Gary Johnson nominated another dumbass? Color me shocked
It was the Aleppo thing that got him.
AAh, I still think he will take a libertarian into his cabinet. Again its elites- to few control to many...
change the f-----g rules "U"dumb asses
Dems and republicans pay this faggot to sabotage any chance of sapping one vote from either party. No ones ever taken the LP seriously, never.
I guess some people are happy with 3%.
The modern iteration of the Libertarian party is nothing more than a pseudo-leftist, shithole party. Any conservative minded folks still registered under that party should feel embarrassed for themselves, and revoke their membership.
Yep, thats what its looking like.
Then the libertarians have been infiltrated and taken over. That's the message. Received loud and clear. This libertarian will vote trump again.
Having been a Ron Paul supporter in the past and having rubbed shoulders with many Liberterians there were some very crazy leftists in there who were actually very scary. Those on the right side of the aisle which I believe were more the majority will be voting for Trump
I used to think I was libertarian but really libertarians are just pro-gun commies who think somehow a society is going to self police with minimal rules and laws which has never been proven to be the case. They also seem to be more worried about what they do with their body and drugs than they do actual material policy.
Idk just my experience.
I’m sure Trump wouldn’t want Chase to be in his cabinet. Or closet either.
Opening your closet and seeing Chase there - thats my new nightmare 😂
Trump should've pardoned Ulbricht the first time around. That guy didn't deserve any time in jail.
"bUt IT's to pRoTect hiM"
I updooted. People on this site hate any reasonable complaints about Trump but your complaint is 100% valid there are a LOT of people Trump should have pardoned or laws he should have focused ok the first go around. I hope I'm wrong round 2 and he cleans it up but I'm worried that we still won't get what we are hoping for and people need to have an open mind to that.
I agree. Thanks. I think people get into a mindset where they will overlook anything negative about the guy. As in he could do something really awful and people would find a way to justify because he's Trump.
Trump was too busy fighting off two failed impeachments and from being branded as wanting to kill grandma.
Libertarian were always dumb their whole platform for years was “Free the marijuana plant”….or maybe Make Maryjane free”.
