@NeoRothbardian We can point to the fact that we disaffiliated them and explain that we don’t believe what they believe

Is it supposed to change anything? The LPNH will still exist, just in a non-affiliated form. In Canada, Liberal and Conservative parties at the federal and provincial levels are generally not affiliated with each other. They remain independent organizations. Imagine being a partyarch and thinking that changes anything.

@Viktor4Liberty @LPNational They do

.@LPNational if you need a new Communications director I'm more than willing to be that.

be a raven 🖤

@ToddHagopian @LPNH They endorsed a competitive party for president. This has nothing to do with minority voices

There is nothing hypocritical about @LPNational wanting to have and enforce standards of any kind. Libertarians should understand that there is a difference between what the state does under a threat of violence, and what a private organization does under threat of "you can't be part of our organization anymore." And I think they do understand that largely. On the question of what sorts of standards an organization like the LP should establish and enforce, I can only speak for myself if I were in the position to run it. I'm not affiliated with the LP in any way, nor do I wish to be, but if it were up to me, this is what standards I would strive for: 1) The Party should be open and welcoming to anyone who wishes to learn about what liberty looks like. This means it shouldn't marginalize or be hateful towards individual person or group of people. The only thing it should actively hate is the state. 2) The Party should understand that with a lot of individuals comes a lot of ideas. Some of these will clash, and that is okay. The ultimate litmus test should rest on if the idea is voluntary or coercive. Some incompatible ideas can both be voluntary. Members should have those differences. 3) Members should conduct themselves professionally while serving in any representative capacity of the Party, whether that be on social media under a Party affiliate, or during official business. Perception is reality, and optics matter if the organization is to be taken seriously. Debates and discussions should be encouraged, but respectful. 4) Members should support one another. No one will ever agree 100%, but if the focus is on the true enemy (the state), then it should be easy to recognize that even those ideas with which one may disagree, again if voluntary, are better than the status quo. I really don't think there is too much more I can add. This seems pretty simple to me, and I think just adopting this would make the LP a much better organization.

Dismantle everything he has done! Tear down every project he slapped his name on! Make his name infamously toxic for all time to come.

@Best4Liberty Right?

About damn time

An example of parallax. The yellow sphere is not moving, it's just hovering about 5,000 feet up. The camera filming it is moving in a straight line. So it looks like the sphere is moving in a straight line.

@AjaxtheGriff @LibertySentries Be sure to comment “Angela next” in the memo

Love to see it. If you do, too, go to donate.lp.org and help us do great things.

@LPNH is officially disaffiliated. Sayonara, suckers! As @EccentricEcon has pointed out, the damage done by them & @LPMisesCaucus /ilk has been done. It will take a long time to (imperfectly) clean up the mess & go forward. But this is an important big step, & long overdue.

@LPNH Tried? They did. You’re disaffiliated. Now you must stop using the “Libertarian Party” name. FAFO.

@TexasAnCap FAFO

The new LNC: "If you don't fall in line with our collective think, we will disaffiliate you." Also the new LNC: "We're going to monitor all of your socials to ensure that you comply with our group think."

@Mopar @LPNH @LPNational Republicans are gross

Ron Paul got elected as a Republican, but lost as a Libertarian. Gary Johnson got elected as a Republican, but lost as a Libertarian. Same men Same principles. What @LPNH understands but @LPNational fails to grasp, is that people and principles are what matters, not a letter in parentheses after your name on a ballot.

Kai Cenat’s streams were really just modern day iCarly episodes 😭

@GregODeal @LPNational @LPNH I agree with it.

While I want to see the @LPNational become more professional, I do not agree with the disaffiliation of @LPNH. We're already wasting tens of thousands of dollars on dumb stuff. This is going to drag itself out and become yet another black eye for the party.

LPNH being disaffiliated is long overdue. They hijacked the label for personal agendas and culture war nonsense that has driven people away from libertarianism for years. Hope the fallout is minimal and new blood builds something that actually cares about electing libertarians

"It is not enough to be passively not racist, we must be actively anti-racist" -@JoForLiberty This weekend, we did just that. Not just passively, by restoring the libertarian platform, but actively, by removing those that sought to violate it and our bylaws.

They are free to endorse Trump OR comply with the agreement they made in order to affiliate with the Libertarian Party. They made their choice, they will suffer the consequences of their action. They were not required to endorse me btw, they were only asked to not endorse our competition in partisan races. They did not honor that agreement and have been rightfully disafilliated.
