Libertarian Party squeezed out by Conservatives

[John Dibble]

Libertarian party canno be taken seriously as long as they lack any sort of national security and foreign policy.

We do. I assume you just don't agree with it, so you write it off.


As far as conservatives(I assume this is interchangeable with Republicans in this case?) squeezing us out, Democrats are just as bad - we did attain enough valid signatures to get on the ballot in New Hampshire, but it seems that a number of Democratic officials in many towns there mailed our signatures to the LPNH office almost a week late(they did this with Nader too). Since we have an 'anti-war' candidate, this year both Democrats and Republicans have a lot to lose if we got attention.

I write it off because it is electrorally unimportant. Were it a major force, I would view it as extremely dangerous. Remember the last time the USA was isolationist? Bad things happened. VERY bad things. That should never, ever happen again.

Well, you either recognize we have one or you don't - writing it off as unimportant is different. Don't lie. Just say we would need a better one.

There's a difference between isolationist and non-interventionist. There's a post where I explain it(and my own position as well) in the 'Individual Politics' section, you can't miss it. EDIT - I'll save you a trip: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?board=14;action=display;threadid=8997

Also, do take into account that even if the Libertarians come into power they won't completely dominate. There will always be opposition, so things couldn't go too far(especially since, unlike some other political philosophies that could be considered dangerous, ours isn't tyrannical). It's not as if conservatives and left-liberals would just drop off the face of the Earth.
