I guess rainwater should wake up and smell the coffee and realize that we live in a 2 party (many times one party) system and that running as an L is only going to result in him getting L’s every election.Yes. I believe he even said so during his campaign.
Libertarians can an do get elected running as Republicans. Good ones like Ron and Rand Paul, Massie, and some others.
Many people are too intellectually lazy or defeatist to bother voting outside the 2 parties so just as the prog/Coms have rotted out the old blue dog core of the dems and basically made them extinct (Joe Manchin is the only kinda sorta blue dog I can think of left)
Serious conservatives and conservative libertarians need to kill off the scumbag RINOs which abound in the Republican Party (Collins Murkowski Romney and depending on the day Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell all need to be LONG gone)
It’s more than possible, it just needs to be done. Good libertarians need to run as and primary crap rinos. Running as libertarians in national or high level stuff like governor is a waste of time and money. They also really need to nip the open border BS in the bud.
