Libertarian Presidential nomination (5/21-5/24)

[beaver2.0]

Anyone have access to the state-by-state results of the fourth ballot?

[Donerail]

Sarwark confirms that he would accept, but the others probably wouldn't. Sarwark has been eying moving from chairmanship to being a candidate, but it looks like being this year's VP isn't how that will happen.

After watching the convention, it's hard to blame him

I haven't been watching everything today, but apparently Jorgensen said she'll vote Monds but stopped short of a full endorsement.

VP first ballot:

Cohen 416 (41%)
Monds 322 (31%)
Armstrong 180 (18%)
Kokesh 87 (9%)

Surprisingly large lead for Cohen. I doubt he gets as many transfers as Monds, so he needed this lead. Tight race.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I have been enjoying watching Sarwark descend into madness over the last 2 days.

[sparkey]

VP Round 2:

Cohen 474 (46%)
Monds 432 (42%)
Armstrong 96 (9%)

I would have guessed that Armstrong supporters would transfer mainly to Monds now, but Armstrong endorsed Cohen. No endorsement from Kokesh.

Cohen wins!:

Cohen 533 (52%)
Monds 472 (46%)

I understand why the LP would pick Cohen. They looked at Jorgensen, and said, "Wow we just picked somebody really dull and serious," and went the opposite for VP.

But now, how do I market Cohen for VP? "He's an edgelord lol"?

...OK, I can deal with that.

Jackie Perry?  Does that mean that Darryl is married?  Does his wife know about his "hall pass" preferences?

Meh could be his mom.

Im disappointed in the LP not picking Monds who imo was a much better choice

If this is her Twitter account, then it sounds like it's his wife (since she references "my husband"):

Every speaker at the Libertarian Convention had a three-letter prefix indicating which state they were from and whether they were a delegate or alternate.

Since Vermin Supreme was a delegate from Massachusetts, his name appeared on the screen as:

MAD Vermin Supreme

And yeah, is it really that difficult for the Libertarian Party to match their video streaming quality to that of a teenager on Twitch? Seriously, this is pathetic quality.

I watched the Alliance Party Convention where they nominated their ticket. It looks more or less the same to LNC Convention Day 1 video I booted up, although I'm not yet to delegates.

The awkwardness with so many different videos is something I think is just endemic to this to where you have actual delegate interaction versus something pushed top-down as the Democrats will likely do where the delegates are treated like they don't matter if they go virtual. (Republicans are telling Charlotte they'll move if it's not live. Trump wants his adoring crowd, although the visual symbolism of him being cheered vs. Zoom meeting confirmation for Biden cannot be understated.)

(Bet anyone $20 a couple employees at the RNC and DNC were each tasked with watching this not out of concern for who was nominated but how a virtual convention process worked and what not to do.)

[Sam Smith]

I like Libertarians on most issues. But they are so wrong on immigration.
I remember when Ron Paul ran he opposed open borders.
This Movement is going nowhere.

Can someone please make a timeline where the US and UK unite and Jo Jorgensen and Jo Swinson join forces to make the Jo-Jo Lib-Lib Party? Thanks.

Jo Jorgensen is already Jo Jo on her own, so joining with Jo Swinson would make it Jo Jo-Jo.

Jorgensen/Cohen kinda rhymes/has assonance, at least. Though for a good sounding ticket name, tacking Supreme to the second spot would've been hard to beat.
