@omgsidewalks I've worked all the "shitty jobs", cleaned toilets, flipped burgers, shoveled holes by hand for 11 hours a day.
I've always had an acceptable standard of living and have never thought my life was shitty.
You think it's society's problem. It's your shitty attitude's problem.
@voteboudreau Fun fact if you take the highest surplus in the last 50 years ($20 billion in 2001) adjust for inflation ($33 billion) and repeated it year after year it would still take 40 years to pay off the National debt.
Tonight, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the founding Constitution for the Libertarian Youth Network (LYNX).
LYNX will be the official Youth Wing of the Libertarian Party of Canada, with Deputy Leader @MH_For_MP acting as the Interim President.
@LibertyKatJG@LibertyCappy Calling Massie ineffective for refusing to compromise is swamp-speak demanding he become a uniparty sellout. He has Congress's consistent liberty record, voting against bloated spending, wars, surveillance overreach & unconstitutional grabs, while pragmatists win by growing gov
Obviously, I want @RepThomasMassie to run for president in 2028. Here’s what I think work in his favor and against:
In his favor:
• Ron Paul came very close to winning the GOP primary in 2012, and without the alternative media apparatus that Massie has available now.
• Every argument Dr Paul made in 2012 has only been strengthened since then.
• He could be very popular with independent voters and pull in support that is not available to anyone else who’d be running against him.
• He will likely have Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Joe Rogan, and Theo Von in his corner. Dave Smith will also presumably be stumping for him every chance he gets. He could also get support from the Young Turks and Jimmy Dore, although that is unlikely to be impactful. Megyn Kelly and Nick Fuentes could also potentially support him, but those are not guaranteed.
• He would have the best chance to win the General of anyone likely to run for the GOP nomination.
• Even if he loses, he has a very real chance to make an even larger cultural impact than either Dr Paul or Bernie Sanders did.
• Losing his congressional primary makes him somewhat of a political martyr and a rallying point against big money in politics. It will also give him time to start making the podcast rounds and familiarize himself further with that space.
• He is extremely intelligent, knows his shit, and decently media-savvy.
• No one has more credibility when it comes to fighting corruption and Israeli influence over the gov’t.
• He doesn’t have the stink of this administration on him at all. Quite the opposite.
• He’s a literal genius with an impressive list of private sector accomplishments.
• He’s a legitimately good person.
Working against him:
• MAGA also has a strong presence in the alt media, and he has pissed them off. The Daily Wire crew will also oppose him, as will the animated husk of TPUSA.
• Blue-pilled Boomers will still go for the establishment candidates, and they vote in primaries in high numbers.
• Any of left-of-center support, and he will have some, can be weaponized against him.
• A lot of support he’ll get will be from libertarians, MAHA, and left-of-center people who will not vote in a GOP primary in high numbers.
• The big money will be against him, and they are not afraid to smear him.
• Losing his congressional primary will have a stink that will be very easy for people to pounce on.
• He’s kinda nerdy and a little awkward. While he’s more charismatic than Rand Paul, that’s not saying much.
• His economic stances involve a lot of hard-to-swallow pills. It’s also borderline impossible to explain economics to people.
• If JD Vance does choose to run, he could be a difficult opponent because he also very intelligent, and he’s more charismatic. He has already shown a strong ability to play the podcast circuit too, possibly better. He also has meme game.
• Trump will still be influential, and he will fully oppose Massie.
• He’s often seen as too rigid and unwilling to compromise. While libertarians like that, most do not.
• While he has a good record on Covid, the importance of that in people’s heads finishes by the day.
• Politics is dirty, and he is not.
• The Israel lobby is rich and powerful.
• There will death threats. He represents a very real threat to a lot of livelihoods.
