Libertarian National Convention thread

[dax00]

Seriously. Now is not the time for ideological purity. Quite a lot of Libertarian ideas are already more or less unacceptable to the public in practice, if not in theory as well. If they ever want to have a chance at becoming real players even at the state level, they need to strike a compromise between Libertarian principles and concerns of electability. Or, they can be as pure as they wish and win zero elections. I'm sure there are a lot of smart people there - How can they not understand this?

You're nothing without principles. It's not worth sacrificing them to win elections. I don't think you'd necessarily need to sacrifice them to win elections.

You shouldn't be talking about principles when your political matrix scores are at (0, -6) and you're supporting Trump.

^Partial straw man - PM score relevant how?

I don't support Trump on the basis of his speech or the content of his character, rather for that which the product of his character and what his presidency would symbolize in respect to the potential mobilization of the masses against the tyrannical globalist regime.

I'm finding Petersen the most likable in this debate (although he's clearly way more rehearsed). Who would I most likely vote for? DW Perry.

May the Libertarian Party prosper. They are truly wonderful people who demand the fullest of their rights.

I am disgusted that the poser got the VP slot.
