    Hes the best republican out there. Libertarians get a lot of hate, but they do share a lot of the same goals as us. Opposition to state power. Ending wars, reform criminal justice system, prison reform, end the drug war, stop corporate subsidies. I think we should work as temporary allies in these domains. Yes they ignore that oppression can happen through private entities, but the goal is the same.

    Overall I think if we worked on the stuff above, it'd make it easier to address the economic issues. We wouldn't need to spend as much for welfare if poor kids had parents in the home instead of locked in a cage for crimes of poverty or addiction. We'd have extra money from cutting military spending that could be spent on healthcare. Taxing and regulating drugs in a licensed professional establishment to put toward education. Etc..

    If you go at it the other way around, tackling economic stuff first, it'd require raising taxes and expanding government, which will get a lot of pushback.
