I couldn’t agree with you more. The debates were a travesty. They say money talks, but money talks smack regarding our humanity and politics, but to put those two words together in the same sentence seems bizarre right now! Thanks much.
Whelp, it would have saved us both some time on FB today if I’d read this first--that will teach me to not get lazy about keeping up with substack ; )
Agree 1000% on every single thing you said.
Will always remember (though not sure how old--late teens or early/mid-20s) when I was on a swing in our backyard and my dad explained libertarianism to me. Classic libertarianism, not what most of today’s libertarianism is.
While I’ve long thought a 3rd party is needed, it doesn’t feel like today’s climate could tolerate a third-party candidate that meets even a fraction of what you wrote. Which is truly unfortunate and sad.
Appreciate this post so much. Stuff like this is a part of why I continue to feel you need a MUCH larger audience. You are the sanest voice in the room oftentimes, it would seem. At least to me.

You are too kind. Maybe the next book will have a title that finally works. Damn do I wish I was supported for my 2 other titles:
The non-conformists cookbook
Principled rebels
Whelp, dammit, I wish you had been as well.
Potent titles.
