This stupid analysis is framed as Massie lost his seat in the general, when he actually lost in the primary because Trump sent the entire machine against him (and he still did respectfully)
Massie would have also won the general if that hadnโt happened, btw
Republicans lost about 20% of their House seats this cycle. The libertarian faction lost 100%: they went from one seat to zero.
Libertarians have nobody left in Congress except Rand Paul. They need to figure out how to be a constructive minority partner in the Republican coalition. Massie's failed Hegseth impeachment stunt is a great example of what NOT to do.
From my interview yesterday morning with @AP4Liberty:
@AezzieUwU Congress is in a lame duck session.
Usually no one cares about them, as they are either getting ready for the new Congress, or they are in the process of moving out of the capitol
โGeniusโ This was probably one of the stupidest ideas ever
The bottle would have fell apart in the shower or anywhere it touched water. What do people think happens with bar soap?!
The fact real people invested money in this shows they failed a basic IQ test
@Maxthecat5905 This is why the old convention system was superior, and it was really retarded in hindsight we completely threw it away after the 1968 Chicago riot
On a serious note, I might not be qualified to be a congressperson
That being said, Iโd still be open to running for it (or any other position) if no other Libertarian candidate comes forward, cuz honestly why the fuck not?
Itโs not like Iโm gonna actually win, letโs be real ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The Republican candidate in my district won with LESS THAN 2 points.
Hmmโฆ.if only there was a Libertarian in the race
Hmmโฆโฆcompletely unrelated, I turn 25 next February
Hmmโฆ.
Honestly this shouldnโt have been surprising
Wow, youโre telling me running white liberal Christian pastors works better electorally than running conservative Bernie Sanders? ๐ฑ
I would also have to see if I can actually (mentally and logistically) run a campaign at all
I also need to balance my personal life right now too (Iโm currently in-between jobs and such, etc)
I should be able to give a clear answer by the latter half of 2027
@JTacocactus@AnonymousLeftie No itโs not. Iโve lived here my entire life, and Iโve yet to see a single ass klansman.
You may be thinking of parts of East Texas, where I have heard stories of the Klan before
