What is going on with the Libertarian Party?

in #voting4 years ago

It's like they aren't even trying this year.

They have been on every presidential ballot since 1972.

It took dedicated looking to find the candidate on the lp.org page.
No banners, just a news story.

Dr. Jo Jorgensen is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Clemson University.
She holds a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology (Clemson, 2002) and has taught full-time since 2006.
She graduated in 1979 from Baylor University with a B.S. in Psychology and in 1980 from Southern Methodist University with an MBA.

After earning her MBA, she put her education to work as a marketing representative for IBM.
Relocating to Greenville, S.C. in 1983, she started her own software sales business.

After taking a career sabbatical to raise her two children, she became a partner in a software duplication company, later taking over as president and sole owner.
She founded a business consulting company in 2002 and continues working with select clients.

Dr. Jo Jorgensen was the Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential Nominee with Harry Browne in 1996.

She campaigned in 38 states and appeared as a Libertarian spokesperson on over 300 radio shows all across America.
She regularly lit up the call-in boards, helping listeners discover the Libertarian Party and generating inquiries and new LP members.

In 1992, she was the Libertarian Party’s candidate for South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District.
After a statewide televised debate with her Democratic and Republican opponents, Dr. Jorgensen’s debate performance was widely praised in the media, and the Greenville News referred to her as “a rose between two thorns.”

Dr. Jo Jorgensen is a Life Member of the Libertarian Party.
She supported Ed Clark for president in 1980 and has been voting Libertarian ever since.
She officially joined the Libertarian Party in 1983 and has served as Greenville County chair, state vice chair, and national marketing director for the Libertarian Party.

If Harry Browne picked her for vice president, the odds of her being another plant by the deepstate is low, imo.

The LP has been having problems lately, running politicians rather than libertarians.
Lucky for us they didn't win.

Well, there you go, vote 3rd party, if you gotta vote at all.

Be sure to vote no on all new taxes.
If you get the chance run off all your state's supreme court justices, too.
The new ones may be worse, but at least they haven't f'd us for decades.

Well there’s nothing really going on about the election is there? There’s just so much other shit going on....I’m not in social media so I don’t know what kind of silliness is going on but I never hear about the farce of the election anymore - maybe people are finally awakening to the fact that it’s not an election but an appointing- yea I doubt that but it is interesting- the Green Party is also silent? My boyfriend watches mainstream news and I never hear about the election...

Smdh, welcome to 2020!
The year that nothing was ever the same.

i had to look up "smdh" and yes SHAKING MY DAMN HEAD it is - yea it really does make me feel like I am in a computer program when everything worldwide changes in a year that they predicted it would change -

The Mayans only missed it by a few years.
I'm hoping to end rule by force, but I doubt enough folks wake up to the fact that getting ruled by bullies isn't the inevitable state of nature that we live in.
Tigers, maybe, but humans, no.
In fact, this book shows that animals cooperate more often than they fight.

thank you for sharing this book! I love to see this stuff - it shows exposes the darwinian psy-op of nature as "kill or be killed" - nope kill or be killed is the evil side of humanity.
