Likewise I would like to see a real alternative libertarian party that sticks to some of its basic principles, like not meddling in people's personal freedoms at all, as opposed to in some areas but not others, and not pursuing monstrous gifts to the richest few while increasing our debt. Right now we contend with this insane desire to end all so-called entitlements (you know, like the ones we have already paid part of our wages to fund for our whole lives?) even as we deliver enormous entitlements to others (property and business owners, churches, big ag, the list goes on). If you really don't want to fund that kind of thing, great, stop funding all of it, not just the ones that affect poor people, thanks. And maybe the "freedom" thing could extend beyond pot and guns, like to being able to get an abortion or over-the-counter birth control pills? Just a thought.
Instead we have racist, nationalist, theocratic oligarchy on the menu for the foreseeable future. I need to be able to communicate with these people, or rather, with people who think they are one of these people but, with a modicum of self-scrutiny, aren't one of these people. I am working on it daily, but honestly there are times you want to just say, maybe stop being a racist fuck who hates everyone else and also can't even get your brain working enough to pursue selfish policies that benefit YOU. Idiots. Ah the civility, I am working every day to be patient.Statistics: Posted by Phoebe — Fri Jun 29, 2018 11:42 am
