The opposite of Libertarian isn't Socialist. It is Authoritarian. This administration is the opposite of Libertarian.

@AlexHSant @ToddHagopian I would have supported that too. Both should have happened in 2024.

@LPpowerofone @ToddHagopian If endorsing another candidate is grounds for disafiliation I will wait for LPCOs. But it's not coming because it's new leaders that fit the scheme

I defended Kauffman’s chair run as a necessary conversation I attacked LPNH for defending the physical assault in GR I defended the LPNH from a political attack on minority rights disguised as disaffiliation Wish we had less binary thinking in the party that rails against it

@TiredFarmer603 I'm married with 2 children and my wife is beautiful but thank you for your concern.

@LPpowerofone You sound gay

I do not celebrate that LPNH is disaffiliated from LP National. I mourn that it came to this, and that my son's had to bear witness to a representative of that affiliate commit assault on a woman at our convention.

@grok @Philadeliberty @marcorandazza I'll add a couple @grok. Ricky Dale Harrington at 33% for Arkansas, Donald Rainwater at 13%in Indiana in a 3 person race, Todd Hagopian in Oklahoma just to name a few.

**Presidential races where LP candidates exceeded 1%:** - 1980: Ed Clark – 1.1% - 2016: Gary Johnson – 3.3% - 2020: Jo Jorgensen – 1.2% (2012 Gary Johnson hit exactly 1.0%.) Not a long list. Statewide, there are more examples over 1% (e.g., Gary Johnson 15.4% in 2018 NM Senate race, several 20-30+% in specific races like GA PSC or AK), but still rare wins or breakthroughs. Facts over the claim in the parent post.

The Libertarian party has never broken 1% of the vote. Meanwhile, the New Hampshire Libertarian movement took over the Republican Party, and brought real libertarian change. Kauffmann is right. Libertarianism can only survive if the Libertarian party dies.

@KellyNguyen404 @LPNational Congrats and good luck!

Thank you to the members of @LPNational at convention in Grand Rapids for electing me as an At-Large representative to the Libertarian National Committee. I look forward to serving the members and LP state affiliates.

@carynannharlos @ALibertyHome Andrew Allgood.

@ALibertyHome His full name escapes me

Again to all you fools defending the Nazi. This is him after assaulting a woman. Have fun with your court date in Michigan you scumbag.

@camisescaucus @corymassimino They were on a table, not even the FSP table. And when they were on that table originally, they were free. And in fact, FSP representatives were handing them out for free outside the confines of the table.

@corymassimino Cory, how did she know they were free?

So the LPNH crowd spent all weekend insulting and harassing this woman and then one of their members (who earlier threw up a Sieg Heil) slapped her in the face for taking too many free pamphlets, and a bunch of them are defending this guy? Do I have this correct? Am I dreaming?

@RachelBTCsmith @LP_CLC @cara_schulz Oh, and your friend did what he did in front of my toddler and infant sons. Do you find his actions to be appropriate in that company?

@RachelBTCsmith @LP_CLC @cara_schulz My mother-in-law is an eyewitness. You're lying to protect the guilty.

As usual, Angela is lying. Andrew Allgood slapped PA delegate. Lady picked up magazine off a table of them. NH guys surrounded her & yelled at her & she said she thought they were just there for attendees & was putting it back. Then Allgood hit her. Venue staff called police.

@LPUSAWatch @LeguiaNJLiberty This is wrong, but ok.

@LeguiaNJLiberty McMahon is the Sarwark candidate. Is Ostrowski the HEISE Candidate? Heise will say he is but Jim sounds way ahead of loser Heise! Yates is ok. Wes Benedict has the admin skills we do desperately need. You decide.

This is one of people who put her hands on me.

@DennisMisigoy @MisesChair Mike ter Maat too, who declared early, was an MC member and large donor.

@MisesChair 🙄 No one expects a savior from the LP. Josh was literally already in the race. I don’t know what issue occurred between you two, but that was a better option. Hornburger too, who was good enough for the MC endorsement last time. To say that Rec was the only option isn’t honest.

The biggest tactical errors I believe I ever made running the LPMC were: 1. Not realizing ahead of Reno how important a total rewrite of the bylaws and governance structure of the LP was and thus not coming in with pre-written bylaws. 2. Not pushing for a staff position right after Reno and thinking it would be best to do this parallel mission sort of thing with the party. I shoulda got in there and pushed Project Revolution right away. Theres other little things here or there, but I think everything else major was defensible and justifiable.

@LV_Libertarian @JFMV763 @LP_CLC I'm not a "left libertarian" or a "right libertarian" but I am a libertarian in attendance as a delegate and convention. And I do believe in arresting someone I don't like if that person hits a woman. That's assault, and that guy is awful for committing it in such a way.

@JFMV763 @LP_CLC Leftist Libertarians LOVE cops when those cops are doing their dirty work for them. Like arresting people they don't like. It's only when the cops stop THEM from doing as they please do they suddenly break out the ACAB chants. Then suddenly the cops become the bad guys.

HOW IT STARTED - HOW IT'S GOING Unlike Andrew Allgood and the so-called “Libertarian” Party of New Hampshire, we oppose the initiation of force.

@imtweetn @MisesChair @Weir4Liberty @bannednDC Actions speak louder than words. Especially wheb you have years of work and 2 minutes to explain it.

@LPpowerofone @MisesChair @Weir4Liberty @bannednDC Having done the thing should make it very easy to explain your plan for doing the thing, no?

Evan McMahon and Wes Benedict are terrible LNC Chair candidates. Everything they campaign on is fake and they're completely full of shit with their goals/aspirations for the Party. If you want to waste money to support them with their initiatives, you're basically throwing it all directly in a trash can. Don't let the Libertarian Party become a virtue signalling woke echo chamber of communism and socialism. Vote these clowns DOWN!

@MisesChair @Weir4Liberty @bannednDC I mean, they both have actually done those things, and I think actually doing them goes further than "has a plan".

@Weir4Liberty @bannednDC Let ne guess, they want to “increase fundraising”, “expand ballot access” and “unify they party”, all in the abstract, but have no roadmap of actions or tactics, or stepping stone goals for anything

@CraigVecellio @jackvlloyd Try again. They did not.

@LPpowerofone @jackvlloyd Try $30 million. They almost single-handedly financed Gallrein.

Tom Woods thinks that if you're a Jewish American citizen who wants an alliance with Israel, then you must be an Israeli state asset. By his own low-IQ logic, I guess he's an asset for the Vatican then.

@jackvlloyd @AP4Liberty Do prison gangs get funded by foreign nations intent on destroying another nation without actually doing it themselves? Is Scott aware that Hamas, Hezbollah, etc are funded by Iran, among others? Just because Israel has largely countered Hamas doesn't make them ok.

Scott Horton saying that Hamas cannot "destroy Israel," as if that means something when Hamas would destroy Israel if they had the manpower. They only got away with mass murdering 700-800 people in small towns and a festival.

I agree. And here's a story contextualizing why. I was at Tom Woods’ house for a meetup and Scott Horton was giving a short talk. During the talk, Horton claimed that the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orland where 49 people were murdered by Omar Mateen was a consequence of "blowback." As I heard him say this, my face turned to a scowl. I knew this story. I knew that "blowback" made absolutely no sense. You see, Omar Mateen mentioned in his 911 call that this was made about the attacks in Syria and he was pledging his life to ISIS. Here's the thing: Omar Mateen wasn't Syrian. In fact, Omar Mateen's family moved from Afghanistan in the 1980s and Omar was birthed in a JEWISH HOSPITAL in NEW YORK! So how is it that an American man, who's family is not from Syria, who was born in New York in a Jewish hospital, is a product of "blowback?" The CIA did not run him any weapons. He was not personally affected by the attacks where maybe a family member could have died. His attack was on random gay people at a gay night club. It was at this moment that I realized Scott Horton had no sense of cause-and-effect relationships. Instead of being accurate that Omar Mateen was radicalized by teachings from joining a Mosque, he tried to turn Omar's mass murder of random gay people into an "underdog" cry of resistance. There was nothing about "resistance" with this act. It was depraved mass murder against people completely unrelated to anything going on in Syria. I started to deep-dive Scott Horton's history and I saw this pattern I just witnessed up-close. Gross generalizations about people and events where the actors and actions did not align with the cause and effects. He would use the anecdotal fallacy to draw deep demonization of anyone or anything he stood against, which was especially anything to do with Israel, Zionism, or Western state hegemony. It was a turning point for me as I finally came to understand who Scott Horton really is. He never really drifted from his core history of being a leftist punk skateboarder who simply took his leftist class theories and applied them lop-sided through the veneer of "libertarianism." There was never any nuance about the actors and actions when it came to what he critiqued. And how could he possible have it? The man has spent a career podcasting and writing on global affairs yet has never himself been to these places and done the hard work of actually observing up-close the conflicts and interviewing people on both sides to get an understanding. As his ideas are donated because they're not coming from primary sourcing, you can see the pattern of how he gets his ideas. He cites to Al Jazeera, The Gaza Health Ministry, Russia Today, The Grayzone, and a host of leftist media whose socialist and communist media heads share his "antiwar" mentality - just from an even stronger leftist bent. I want you to actually fact check me on this. Go look at his sourcing on all his 30+ years of articles with Antiwar dot com. It's out there in the open to see. So Scott Horton does not help libertarians become better thinkers for liberty by giving them a more robust and nuanced approach to foreign conflicts that properly weighs the totality of real foreign threats and terror groups. In his worldview, the world is largely just captured by Israeli Zionists and nobody has any material blame, agency, or threat to pose as compared to the Zionist class. Just like communists blame capitalists and the bourgeois, so does Horton blame "Zionists/Zionism" as his boogeyman for every ill in the world. He will downplay mass murder in Iran and Chinese state takeovers of industry so long as it maintains a focus on Israel and "Western Zionism" as the ultimate threats. And this is why I completely distanced and dissociated from Horton and his lot of comrades whose worldview is actually just the leftist/third-worldist view that hates America and Israel under the premises that they are "Zionist colonialist occupiers." This type of warped thinking is what gets you the results like in South Africa where the "anti-colonialists" take over in the name of "social justice" for "blowback," and it's just a ruse to institute state central planning for socialist ends. This messaging does not help libertarianism. It doesn't ground people in truth and reality. It just causes them to become allied with communists, socialists, and other third-world leftists in the name of being "Anti-US hegemony" and "anti-Zionism," while, in reality, aiding and promoting those who want to both end Western capitalism and bring about a radical Marxist order. I want nothing to do with these people and I want nothing to do with those who are trying to upend the Western enlightenment because they think they are being, "anti-war." NONE of it is "anti-war," because they pooh-pooh the violence of third worldist governments when they mass murder and kidnap people over free speech and free market issues. They downplay anything they believe will give the CIA and neocons a boner. That's not dealing in reality. That's dismissing REAL state violence just because it doesn't go along with the narrative you want to pose. That's dishonest and shameful. If you want to have true liberty, you need to reject this all-or-nothing third-worldist mentality that has you rationalizing the violent takeover by socialists, communists, and Islamic-aligned anti-capitalist third worldists who wear the skinsuit of "America first" to get you to support vile socialists like Mamdani under the pretense that they're at least "anti-Zionism" and "for going after the Epstein class." This rhetoric is being weaponized against you to TRICK YOU into support those who want to actually enslave you and end capitalism. And I will, for one, will not stand for it. I can only hope you also agree and do the same. "¡Viva la libertad, carajo!

@jackvlloyd @CraigVecellio They also only put 60k into that race, which is exceedingly low for them. And it's the American Israel political action committee, as in, Americans who support an allied relationship with Israel. This "foreign nation" crap doesn't hold.

@CraigVecellio AIPAC is American citizens with American money. You don't seem to understand this.

@jeremykauffman @justinamash Nobody wants to enslave you more than MAGA. But thanks for admitting you're MAGA. LP voters in Grand Rapids ought to know.

@justinamash Half of America wants me dead but would settle for my slavery. MAGA, despite its flaws, is the strongest force opposing it.

This is exactly what guys like John Boehner and Paul Ryan used to say. It was a false proposition then, and it’s false now. A member of Congress’s team should be the American people. It’s those they represent, not a political party or a man. And the partisans in Washington consistently work together against the interests of Americans everywhere. The war isn’t between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between those who love liberty and those who love power. MAGA, Inc., is just the same old political establishment—but now they use Trump as a shield for violating your rights and abandoning the Constitution.

Yeah, if we could stop having our affiliates endorsing Republicans....
