Chase Oliver wins Libertarian Party nomination.

I have differences with newly chosen Libertarian Party nominee Chase Oliver (mostly on foreign policy). But he’s great on most other issues and a far better candidate than I expected from the current Libertarian Party. At very least, he understands libertarianism isn’t nationalism or being a right-wing culture warrior.

Obviously, there is little chance he will get more than the usual 1% of the vote the LP candidate gets. The importance of this nomination is not about its impact on the presidential race (which is likely to be very minor), but what it shows about the libertarian movement: even with the current LP - perverted as it is by the right-wing populists of the misnamed Mises Caucus (who try hard to block Oliver, but failed) - most libertarians understand this should be a movement about liberty, free markets, and universal human rights, not nationalism, culture war trolling, and other such crap.

That's something we can and should build on, even though I still seriously doubt third party politics is an effective strategy within the US political system, with its structural bias towards the two major parties.
