I'm listening to the debate between Dave Smith & Tho Bishop. I recommend NOT turning it into a drinking game, keyed to when they say "Ron Paul"; you'll die from alcohol poisoning. We can - & should - sell liberty without selling a person. Liberty is always greater.

@802libertarian Ron Paul is the best and most well known libertarian figure of our lifetime. It makes sense to reference him a lot.

@BiblicalAnarchy I'm not in the party to sell Ron Paul. Ron Paul is one person, and yes, he had some good things to say. But the party - and much more importantly - the message of liberty, is MUCH bigger than any one person. TLDR: we won't change the future by living in the past.

@802libertarian It’s pretty clear you have some type of emotional bias. If you’re going to model a strategy it’s obvious that Ron Paul is the closest we’ve had to success. So yes, talking about it is part of planning for future messengers of Liberty.

@GoodAMLiberty Let's talk about modeling our next POTUS run after Ron Paul. Tell me, did Ron Paul constantly name drop anyone, or did he sell the principles of liberty? I'm *not* saying 'ignore Ron Paul', I'm saying HE IS NOT THE PRODUCT people will want to buy, LIBERTY is, & always has been.

@802libertarian There is no evolutionary advantage to being loyal to an abstract principle. So most people aren't. There are huge advantages to being loyal to a person. So that's much more natural to most people. I don't think we should fight that. I think we should use it to our advantage.

@802libertarian Imagine having a talk about strategy and not talking about Ron Paul. That's why we lose.

@802libertarian We can-& should- sell those who can/do promote the liberty movement also. Without figureheads like Ron Paul, Dave Smith, Maj, Hotep, we lack the ability to reach the people our policies will help.

@blondebombMN You seriously consider Hotep Jesus to be some kind of leader in the liberty movement?

@802libertarian I mostly agree. I do think we can sell/promote people that are doing good work for liberty — the problem is making them into idols

@th_nd_r Selling or endorsing an active candidate or activist is a far cry from what I mean though.
