Recent idjitry by Richard Winger is the specifics here. He has, not once but twice fluffed Trump's pardon of Ross Ulbricht, and in both cases, these don't have anything to do with ballot access. As I told Winger at the second piece, not only Jill Stein but Brainworm Bobby finished ahead of Libertarian-tards in 2024, despite LP head Angela McAwful trying to tie this back to 2020.
In both the first and second cases, he links, first, and second, to Reason interviews.
Seriously, the second piece is nothing but McAwful trying desperately to get her party back to a modicum of relevance when she herself passively-aggressively enabled the anti-Chase Oliver shitshow within the party. And, Winger has written enough about that that he knows that.
Maybe he has hard-on for Ulbricht?
In any case, as I made even more clear re the first piece? This is nothing but transactional pandering to the crypto community by The Donald after he and wife Melanin released their own new memecoins. If Winger's that fucking dumb, that's bad enough.
If he has an undisclosed financial "position" that's at background here, that's even worse.
Re the first piece? Maybe Ulbricht doesn't deserve life without parole. But, he doesn't deserve a pardon, either. A commutation would be different. Silk Road WAS a criminal enterprise. And, even if one favors decriminalization or even full legalization of "hard" drugs (I don't) its criminality went beyond drugs. As did the Ulbricht trial period's "shenanigans" by fanbois.
Beyond that, as the mag admits, the likes of it and Winger are already getting owned by Trump in other ways on civil liberties.
Beyond THAT, Winger, LP, McAwful? By the time I was composing this Jan. 22, they'd already dropped 50 percent from Jan. 17. Kevin Drum has more about the grifting shitstorm these coins are.
And, yes, I posted that to the second BAN piece. After my first comment there, he tried to claim it DOES show the power of a minor party, even though I pointed out McAwful's bait and switch, and of course, this all happened two months AFTER the 2024, not 2020, election.
Jordan at Independent Political Report has engaged in her own degree of suckerdom, as has one commenter there, beyond Nutbar Nuña, off in his own world.
Seriously, are these people more that fucking desperate, or that fucking stupid?
As for the McAwful types in the Libertarian, or Libertariantard, Party, whether full on Mises Mice or not?
To further the mash-up, they're TrumpTarianTards. It's like Jill Stein and other Greens who are AccommoGreens, Greens who really hope to just nudge Democrats. In fact, I see more direct parallels between LP head McAwful and de facto Green head Stein. Namely, they're both attention whores within the third party world, and it's usually in ways like this, triangulating off one half of the duopoly or another.
And, the attention whore is resigning! Per IPR (no follow on link) she going to another opportunity that she said didn't allow time for running the LP but claimed that details of the move will make heads explode. Maybe, per the info about her grifting at that link — info that should have made BAN, IPR and Reason all take her Trump-influencing claims with multiple grains of salt — she's avoiding getting the boot. And, the big reveal? No, McAwful's fellators, she's not joining Trump's cabinet. She may, perhaps, be joining his memecoin PR team. (She's part of the reason the LP was going broke nine months ago.)
