Crazy twist of fate: Libertarian candidate is a huge problem for Biden, not Trump
Revolver News ^ | May 27, 2024

Posted on 05/28/2024 9:00:12 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Think back to the Libertarian Party’s glory days when Ron Paul led the charge from the outside—his fiery calls to defund the Federal Reserve are legendary, and he’s been a constant champion of liberty ever since. Those were the golden years for Libertarians. Since then, though, it’s been a speedy decline. But this year’s Libertarian convention was totally unexpected. President Trump didn’t just enter the lion’s den; he rocked it with a speech that’ll be remembered for ages.

However, the big news of the night felt more like a clandestine nod to Trump and another knife in Joe Biden’s back than anything else. It turns out that the party nominated a candidate who could probably beat Biden in the “progressive lunacy” contest. Let’s put it this way: the new Libertarian candidate has one flag in his X bio, and it’s not Old Glory.

Yep, decked out with a gay pride flag, 17 booster shots, and a full-throttle support for open borders, this election’s ‘woke’ Libertarian candidate is a stunning departure from the party’s golden years. It’s more like a sign of their nosedive—and a golden opportunity for President Trump to scoop up a heap of votes. Plus, this candidate offers disgruntled left-wingers another protest vote against Biden.

Trump’s talent seems to be destroying political parties. He forces them to twist in their own illogical and inconsistent platforms.

As the Pope might say, the "frociaggine" runs deep in this candidate.

Unfortunate phrasing, there. Accurate, though. LOL!

If I was one of those rare Democrats with any sense, looking with dismay at my Dem choices, but couldn't bring myself to vote for Trump, I would just stay home in disgust.

Hopefully many will do so.

I doubt the LP will take any votes from Biden.

Leftist Dems can already go to Jill Stein (Green Party) or Cornel West. More moderate Dems can go to Kennedy.

The LP has a somewhat rightist reputation. Dem voters would have to closely examine the LP to notice that Chase Oliver agrees with them on some things. And with Stein, West, and Kennedy on the ballot, Dem voters won't be scrutinizing the LP for an alternative to Biden.

I’m not a libertarian, and consider Trump to be the best president since the 1800’s. But I loathed his handling of Covid.

The Libertarian Party has always just been a bunch of gay Democrat potheads, anyways. Nary an actual libertarian idea promoted.

Hope this does the same as RFK Jr, in poll after poll, RFK Jr helps Trump margin as he pulls 4 votes from Biden for every 3 from Trump. Thats why the WH/Dems refuse to give RFK Jr secret service protection and are trying ot shut him down.

He is no friend of conservatives but if it helps Trump-

Biden already had enough problems with Kennedy, West, and Stein, not to mention himself.
