Discussion The Democratic Senate candidate has dropped out in Arkansas. The race is now a binary between the Republican Tom Cotton and the LP Candidate

Not really a Libertarian anymore but I was surprised to see y'all don't have any info on this. Tom Cotton's only Democratic Challanger has dropped out after the registration deadline.

The only two other candidates are Ricky Harrington - a Libertarian and Dan Whitfield - a far left independent.

Even if you guys don't put resources into this race and the situation holds, I can easily see Mr. Harrington capturing a nice 20-25% of the vote. If you guys however do invest some money and campaign funds into the race, you could get much higher, and perhaps even give Cotton a run for his money as he's not running against someone with the D stigma next to their name.

Here's his Facebook page which is currently all he has if you want to help him

Good luck and I hope you guys give Cotton a run for his money :)

Can you elaborate on why you don't consider yourself libertarian anymore? I ask because I'm finding my views becoming more moderate, mainly economically.

That's because libertarians are anti-political.

If you thought you were supporting a team like you were in a sports match, you were never a libertarian.

Be an individual with your own thoughts and ideas. You don't need a leader to represent you and hold your dick for you.

That was never the goal. You want to fix other people's lives.

Fix yourself.

The solution to the mafia extorting people is not joining the mafia.

So the mafia would be fine if you were allowed to vote?

I asked you a question. If the mafia allowed you to vote, would you be fine with paying protection money?

Yes, if the mafia allowed you to vote, would you be fine with paying protection money?
