Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Those just mean guns and drugs right?
They never figure out how roads or waste management happens after that though.
Libertarians often mistake deregulation for freedom. However, I kind of like being able to buy food without worrying about deadly pathogens.
Hey now, that infringes on the rights of people who want to provide products as cheaply as possible and make a shit ton of money. How very selfish of you.
Libertarians are just alt-republicans with a better working knowledge of local age-of-consent laws.
Lol holy shit
I'm not sure which group you're calling pedos....
And not sure I want to know....
The party, which was formed in 1971 and supports laissez-faire capitalism ~~and civil liberties,~~ is the third-largest American party by voter registration. Its website says: "Libertarians strongly oppose any government interference into their ~~personal, family, and~~ business decisions."
There I fixed the atticle to be truthful.
The Libertarian Party doesn't even recognize her as a member. This article didn't dive very deep.
Being Libertarian means never having to admit you’re a Republican
I'm still waiting for any libertarian to go ahead and tell me how deregulating the sewers is gonna work out for everyones best interests.
Anyday now, I'm sure. I've been asking this since 1996, I'm sure they'll get back to me soon.
Well, Wichita, hopefully you enjoyed basic services up til now. Libertarians don't like that stuff. You'll see.
Nothing like bears taking out yr trash. Out of your house that yr also in. Libertarian-land is too hxc for me man.
Umm, "biggest ever" meaning mayor of Wichita, population 400,000. Biggest ever, since formation in 1971. "Since its creation, 10 Libertarians have been elected to state legislatures. The most recent candidate was Marshall A. Burt, who represented Wyoming's 39th district from 2021 to 2023." A total of 10, since 1971, sounds like they are really on the move. /s

Wasn't Jesse Ventura elected governor of Michigan as a Libertarian?
Minnesota and it was the reform party.
Wasn’t our shining moment there
