Is the US Libertarian party the only political party with staunch supporters who are aptly ready to call out the party when it does something dumb? Republicans & Democrats seldom seem to be able to call out their party.
As of late, I've seen the Democrats who have this Micheal Sandal guy willing to say that the Democrats haven't put up a decent candidate to oppose Trump in 2020, but a lot of Democrats say that and sort of religiously endorse Biden anywho.
Aside - ROFL the presidential race is between these two old, out of touch, Keynesians.
Aside 2 - To be honest the Democrats had some ludicrous presidential nominees this year too like some new-age mystic lady [See: DnD].
Continuation - Yet, for this 2020 election, the Democrats had a promising rising star (a sort of Keynesian superhero) Andrew Yang who seemed willing to call out the democratic party for their bosh – for while at least. Sadly methinks he's given way to pragmatism; because of the putative Trump threat. Along with every other Democratic nominee, Andrew Yang endorsed Biden #Disapointing. Which in my mind twas somewhat sketch that all the Democratic nominees were willing to endorse someone like Biden. Someone with a lousy track record on immigration (very harsh), drugs (war on drugs leader), and worst of all a Keynesian.
In regards to the Republicans and their people who would be willing to call out their party for its humbug. Would prolly be this Justin Amash guy who calls out the poor incentive structure within the US government all the time [See: Justin Amash on "Yang Speaks" juxtapositing how laws get passed in the statehouse versus how laws get passed in congress].
Plus, these Republicans have this Rand Paul guy who calls out the dumb nature of making it super impossible for most of the congress-people to have time to read the bills & whatnot. With the result of such having it so only the party leaders supposedly know what's in the bills. These main congress folk ends up whipping the rest of their partisan side into voting whichever way their part leaders, please.
Finally, upon reflection, this Libertarian party is seemingly chockful of these highly individualized people – who (to be honest) are a bit too oppositional to everything. There was one VP candidate who stripped on stage apparently – I'd say that's very oppositional to societies tacit norms. I say the US's Libertarian party may have a superfluity of these disputatious folk. Yet the confounding variable to this situation may be the fact that tis a small 3rd party which draws the highly ideologically motivated or attention-seeking wacky-folk to run as candidates. Also, to that, I hear the Libertarian presidential race is pretty open and easy to join in comparison to the other parties – so that may give way to less established to join the race.
In regards, to calling out political parties for doing dumb stuff. Methinks the Libertarian party shouldn't have picked Spike Cohen as it's 2020 VP pick –albeit I do understand that a podcaster may be good for marketing. I'd prefer to put up a qualified front for a presidential race. With Jo Jorgensen as the presidential pick (something which I approved of wholeheartedly) and Judge Jim Gray as the VP pick. – Murdoch Harris's 2020 Self Who is Leaning Libertarian & Interested In Ricardian Socialism & Anarchic Marxism Whatever Those Are Iteration
