RE: How Can the Libertarian Party Come Together and Succeed?
Tried it. Doesn’t work. You get stifled or primaried. Overthrowing the old parties must be a primary goal of libertarianism.

Yeah the trick is to win your primary. lol
Sure. But why fight there when you can get onto the ballot by running in the LP. Ron Paul, for instance, wasn't on the ballot - because he ran in the old parties - but Gary Johnson was.
Fortunately Ron Paul and Gary Johnson were able to win some Republican primaries and get elected.
That was a long time ago. AOL Instant Messenger hadn’t come out yet. Google wasn’t widely used yet. The Spice Girls were at the top of the charts. We live in a very different time than we did in 1998.
Fortunately Justin Amash and Thomass Massie were able to win their primaries.
