How many offices has the Libertarian Party actually been elected to?

(Amash doesn’t count because he was elected as a Republican)

Anyone???

Taking back Amash’s seat will be critical in case something crazy happens and the Presidential election goes to the House. The House voted by state, and you need a majority of all states to win. There are currently exactly 26 state delegations with Republican majorities and 22 with Democrat majorities. Michigan is 4 Democrats, 3 Republicans, and 1 Amash. Pennsylvania is 9-9.

Some freepers fear he could have hurt us but Biden loving Never Trumpers like Joe Walsh urged him not to run, fearing the exact oppostie.

I hope he does not reenter to the race for his House seat.

The Libertarian Party has been infiltrated by hedonists, communists, potheads and human hemorrhoids. They’ve gotten so stupid that they refuse to recognize private property, the primary tenet of libertarianism back in the 1990s.

Wasn’t the last batch of libertarians to run for president anti-2nd amendment, pro-abortion and in favor of open borders? I believe so.

I heard that his family, friends and political partners in crime told him very succinctly about his desire to run as a Libertarian Party presidential candidate were:

“No way, Jose”
“Hit the Road Jack”
“Say What?”
“WTF, are you crazy?”
“A snowball has a better chance of running for the presidency in Hell than you have in running for anything beyond your present and final political position”.

“Nobody likes a turncoat. Just ask Benedict Arnold”.
“We know that you are a politically ambitious political turncoat and you continually prove it every time your open your mouth”.

With a name like Justin Amess, your voter appeal is less than that of Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer.

The only way to start a viable 3rd party in the usa is to have a large part of a current party(ies) resign and join a new party. If a third of the house and senate became libertarians overnight, then the libertarians would have a base of power, incumbency, and involvement.

I think he may be eyeing 2024, when President Trump isn’t on the ballot and perhaps the partisan camps won’t be quite so locked in.

A third party candidate promising to reopen America quickly would be interesting.
