What if the libertarians picked up 10% of either or both houses of Congress? They wouldn't have full control but their cooperation would be required to get majority approval and the required compromises might bring some fiscal sanity back to our government.Skjellyfetti wrote:I don't think I'd want the Libertarian Party in control of either chamber in Congress.

As President, they would have a much easier time implementing their socially/civilly liberal positions and a more difficult time implementing their fiscally conservative positions.
Voted for a Libertarian candidate in 2016. Hopefully I won't feel the need again, but would have no problem doing so.

It’s not as if New Mexico suffered under the oppressive yoke of Gary Johnson’s two terms. IIRC he was popular with both sides.
Co-equal branches and the constraints they bring are pretty damned nice safeguards of our system.

Re: 2020 Libertarian Party Nomination Process Megathread
One day in the near future, a LP candidate is going to pull down 1-2% of the popular vote in a couple of swing states
Chances are, those votes will be from conservative-leaning independents, and it will cost the GOP an election
We’ll see how dead MaineJearf thinks the LP is then

It doesn’t take much looking back on this forum to see that Reek has plenty of contempt for the LP as well
Amash appears to be setting up for a LP nomination (I hope)

Amash introduces an amendment to a spending bill which would rein in FISA and return it to its original intent
And gets shot down by a wide margin, of course 175-252
Kudos to the Dems and Republicans who voted for the amendment - notably...
Ocasio-Cortez
Jim Jordan
Tulsi Gabbard
