“Regardless of the direction of causation—whether corporations seek rents, and turn away from making better, cheaper products, or whether politicians sell rents as a way of accumulating power and influence—capitalism in a democracy is precarious. There must be rules, preferably at the constitutional level, that limit the ability of government to pick winners and losers, and to use subsidies or industrial policy to increase the accounting profits of corruption.”

“As Rudy Giuliani’s daughter, I’m unfortunately well-suited to remind Americans of just how calamitous being associated with Trump can be, even for those who are convinced he’s on their side. Watching my dad’s life crumble since he joined forces with Trump has been extraordinarily painful, both on a personal level and because his demise feels linked to a dark force that threatens to once again consume America. Not to disregard individual accountability in the slightest, but it would be naive for us to ignore the fact that many of those closest to Trump have descended into catastrophic downward spirals. If we let Trump back into the driver’s seat this fall, our country will be no exception.”

We have to decide as a society what we will tolerate.
We decided not to tolerate starvation.
Now it's time to do homelessness.

Rejection of political violence is the one thing that every single sustaining member of the Libertarian Party agrees on.
New members of the Libertarian Party have to affirm, “I certify that I oppose the initiation of force to achieve political or social goals.”
Reject political violence.

Self determination, equal justice, and mutual aid are the core of libertarianism.
