The Libertarian Party is dead. On the other hand, the uni-party is alive and well, as Republicans have infiltrated the Libertarian Party of Colorado. Apparently, the Libertarians have been hanging around the crossroads making deals with untrustworthy entities.
I couldn't figure out why in the world the old-guard Libertarians were being blocked from the state Facebook page until I heard the news.
They've made a deal they're going to regret.
Apparently, the new Libertarian leadership has bent over for the Republican Party and promised not to run candidates in hotly contested races. The Republicans promised to run liberty candidates.

The problem with that is that no one bothered to define "liberty candidate."
Get away fast. There's going to be a stampede!
Yeah, we have a RINO for mayor. There are RINOs, RINOS everywhere.
The Democrats and Republicans are both different sides of the same coin. In the end, both parties want to destroy your liberty. The left will destroy your financial liberty, and the right will destroy your personal liberty. If you doubt the view that both parties engage in the same crap, look at the number of Republicans that supported the Covid shots and lockdowns!
To me, both parties are one and the same.
I know many men named David Williams, several of whom are Republicans. I cannot say I've met the man who holds the GOP chair. His view is all too common. I remember there was one occasion when I had to get between a Republican named Gary and a Libertarian invited to speak when the former rushed at him out of fear his run for office would "steal votes" from the Republicans. For my troubles, I was reprimanded as "the crazy bitch," but, hey, taxpayer dollars were not wasted due to a 911 call, possible arrest, and EMT visit.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Who in hell said that the Republicans were entitled to votes?
Don't they understand that most registered Libertarians fear throwing their vote away and typically vote for the Republican unless the Republican reeks of pachyderm feces?
This just shows that the Colorado Republican Party has no faith in its ability to choose quality candidates.
I left the Libertarian Party briefly when they harassed a Pagan and called his worship of the God of Liberty a type of mental illness. I came back when a few Libertarians helped me fix a mess caused by idiotic Republicans who were interfering in helping homeless people get off the streets.
I never donated again to the Libertarian party after that nightmare and have only helped individual candidates. I've been invited to train with the Democrats but turned them down. I've also been asked to help on Democratic campaigns and have turned them down as well. I've avoided supporting Republicans due to their love of harassing homeless people.
At this point, I have no idea how to scratch that political itch.
I even had some dorky Libertarians Republicans chastise me for my activism, asking me to ask myself if it helps people. One lady said, "[Seigfred's real name], you need to make sure your activism doesn't hurt people." Let's see. I don't advertise it. I help get homeless folks off drugs and the streets without asking for a dime. I've helped a woman set up on false charges by a local government get free of the trumped-up charges (drummed up by a Republican, no less but, to be fair, it was a Republican I ran against that came up with a plan to help her.)
It's delusional to think that my, or anyone else's campaign for office would "hurt people." I spend my daytime hours helping people fight their delusions. What difference would it make if I spend my evenings running for office to teach Republicans to fight delusions stemming from their insecurities!
It's truthful to say that I make a difference without the Libertarian Party. I'll just keep doing the same.
As of now, there are no viable options to the uni party.
Oh, and to the sheltered traitors running the Colorado Libertarian Party: Give a bully an inch, and they will take a mile. Most of us learn that life lesson by the time we turn six. Be mindful of the next Republican request, it'll be far worse. I won't be a shoulder for you to cry on or a mouthpiece to repair the damage, either. You're on your own.
The lesson is to NEVER COMPROMISE YOUR PRINCIPLES. What happened to the party of principle? It died a meaningless death.
All hail the self-absorbed swamp creatures who are taking away our rights at a phenomenal pace.
There really is no one holding these jerks accountable. We can try, but we find ourselves kicked off of Facebook and Twitter while being harassed endlessly by code enforcement and other government entities.
This isn't going to end well, is it?
Take care of yourselves.
Stock up on food and ammo and pray.
Love ya,
S.
P.S. I'm going to change my party affiliation this evening.
If I write ten more words, I'll hit 666. That will be incredibly fitting for this post. As any witch knows, making a deal with the devil always fails. You have to define each and every word because the Devil is good at finding loopholes.

Well, it looks like the party was taken over by bigots and transphobes. I can't leave fast enough. I have no clue what a MAGA Republican is but it seems like we have Trumpette Libertarians (that's my name for Libertarians that worship the ground Donald Trump walks on).
I can see why the party was kicked off Twitter. Wow...
