While we may agree on specific policies or topics; Libertarians are not Democrats and are not Republicans.
We will not support or endorse candidates from either duopoly party.
We will be single issue, coalition partners when needed to advance liberty.
@shaun_gains@TedBrownLiberty Funny. Libertarianism is the only major political philosophy that treats adults like adults and doesn’t assume government should run every aspect of their lives.
“We will have people going out to support the candidates by door-knocking, phone banking, putting out signs, donating to the effort, working with their county parties, running their state parties — and that is how we will elect people to office and change this country. We will end the bureaucracy through the next generation of our membership. I want us to change the policy so that the next generation is freer. But that starts at membership. That starts by having an LNC that functions well and isn’t embarrassing or alienating us from other people. Let’s be proud Libertarians again.” - LNC Chair Evan McMahon @LPchair
STATE AFFILIATE DENOUNCES CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE
The Libertarian Party of Mississippi denounces Mississippi District 3 congressional candidate Erik Kiehle and his incendiary statements on social media.
Kiehle’s statements do not represent the Libertarian Party of Mississippi, its membership, or its values. Advocating government coercion against peaceful people or praising authoritarian ideologies isn’t libertarianism — it’s authoritarianism.
Mississippi state law states that political parties do not determine who runs under their banner. According to Mississippi Code § 23-15-291, “All nominations ... shall be made by primary elections.” The state party did not choose this candidate to run for office.
The Libertarian Party stands for the maximum liberty of every peaceful individual. Any candidate who advocates government coercion against peaceful people based on their identity or who praises authoritarian ideologies has no business running under the banner of liberty.

It is depressing that Texas voters have to choose between a grifting adulterer dirtbag and an extreme far left lunatic with heretical and unacceptable cultural, theological, and political positions. Neither are acceptable candidates. Neither are conservative. Neither are moderate. Neither are fit for office. Any attempt to criticize one by defending the other is intellectually and morally deficient. BOTH candidates are unworthy of one’s support. It is not just that I CAN hold both positions at once (Paxton is personally unfit; Talarico is positionally unfit) - it is that I MUST hold both positions at once.
