re: Libertarian's job is to give Democrats the wins

Or do you have any other remotely plausible way of making that happen?

---

Keep supporting candidates we would like to see hold office.

Anything else is, by definition, nurturing the swamp.

quote:

---

Now do their stance on entitlements, WOD, etc.

I'll wait

---

Do I have to ask you the ugly question too? Their stance on entitlements can never, and will never happen without the elimination of millions of liberals from both parties. So how about discussing reality, rather than utopian hogwash?

So because you think they aren't a plausible option, you can misrepresent their platform?

The party official stance is open borders, end WOD, end entitlements.

In conjunction, I fully agree with them.

Ah. So the only way to fix the border problem is dramatically increasing the size and scope of gov't? That's what you're saying?

---

If you think spending 5 billion dollars to build a physical barrier between ourselves and Mexico is dramatically increasing the size and scope of our government, you actually have no concept of the size and scope of our government. We have recently spent 10x that amount to protect the borders of Ukraine, but I guess it's a bridge too far to protect our own.

So, that's a no from you too. You are still at <5% of the vote on your best day. The only thing plausible about that is getting marxists elected.

An open borders liberal loon from Cali is now the leader

Congrats on that win

Not because I think so. Because everyone with a brain thinks so. The last time a significant government instituted program or law was abolished was prohibition, almost 100 years ago. But you guys insist on the delusion that you are going to end entitlements. It's a wonderful pipe dream, and I would support it 100%, but by no stretch of the imagination can it ever happen without the elimination of millions of liberals and leaches who consider it a way of life.

Now, can we get to a reality based solution, like creating a physical barrier between us and the invaders, forcing them to come in upon invitation?

quote:

---

How many liberals, both republican and democrat, are you willing to kill to make that happen?

---

I am not killing anyone.

People choose to do that to themselves.

Direct quote from her:

quote:

---

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else that best describes your political philosophy?

My political philosophy is inspired by Ron Paul's ""Liberty Defined"" and Mises' ""Human Action"

---

And another:

quote:

---

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

“I believe the core responsibilities of anyone elected to office are to protect the Constitutional rights and freedoms of the people of the United States and limit government from interfering in the personal lives of citizens.

---

Oh, and also:

quote:

---

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

“I believe the greatest challenges the USA faces are lowing the national debt and course correcting interventionist foreign policy.

Soooo librul.

From her ballotpedia:

quote:

---

Washington & Special Interests: For years, your representatives have allowed powerful special interests to override the will of the people. Washington has continuously been bribed by wealthy organizations and put their agendas first. This produces unfair legislation that hurts the innovator, middle class, and the economy. I firmly believe that democracy shouldn’t be bought. If elected, I will always make the people my number one priority.

Foreign Policy: ’ll work to put an end to all wars of aggression; drastically reduce military spending; repeal The Patriot Act; cease all military actions that violate the Geneva Convention; promote free trade, and repeal the NDAA.

Economy: I’ll work to stimulate job growth for all Americans, provide realistic incentives for companies to keep jobs in the US, and scrutinize regulatory barriers that hinder job growth but do nothing to protect the health or wealth of the population. I”ll work to make free trade the friend of our small business communities.

Taxes: It is no secret that everyday Americans pay too much in federal taxes. That’s why I’m determined to cut wasteful government spending. My solution is simple. Let’s stop spending billions on unnecessary and ineffective governmental programs and wars of aggression abroad. I will vote against more American intervention in the Middle East and will not give one more cent for the NSA’s unconstitutional domestic spying programs.

Federal Spending: Federal spending is out of control. We don’t need to let Congress throw away more of our money. I’ll work to reduce our “war chest” budget, eliminate needless layers of bureaucracy, and hold our elected representatives accountable for voting on legislation that wastes tax payers’ money while perpetuating violent, military expansion
