"Libertarianism is appealing to everyone, because at the end of the day libertarianism is really just an appeal to who you want to be, and everyone can appeal to their own sense of self. The question always is people's fear of each other. People have no problem with the freedom to be themselves. They're scared of what happens when other people are themselves, and how that will effect them. That's why the libertarian message is one of hope and tolerance, because in order to have a world where we can let each other be free, we can't be scared of each other. That's a very different conversation than the other parties are having, which is why the Libertarian Party is a unique vehicle, the only vehicle that can change the conversation, reduce fear and polarization, and create a world where we can just let each other be." -Alex Merced #amliberty

When an addict quits drugs they go through great short term pain for worthwhile long term gains. Voting against two party corruption is the same, if you don’t start the process in fear of short run pain you never get the long run benefits. #amliberty https://t.co/80ge5q32To

Free Markets are not about corporate control, it’s about consumer control. Consumers choose who they give power too, and if no good choices exist they are able to become a producer and offer an alternative to their fellow consumers. This is how we grow together. #amliberty https://t.co/0SOlHrLM10

Improving the world isn’t about fault or punishment but reflecting on what actions we can take to contribute to the things we want and which actions contribute to what we don’t want that we should stop. Focusing on blame/punishment distracts from solutions. #amliberty https://t.co/vrOZcm7wEk

To be a true lover of freedom one must develop a deep tolerance and even enthusiasm for what is possible in the certainty of uncertainty. #amliberty https://t.co/P29hpHO3MG

The world evolves by the example we set. If we set an example of violence, hate and intolerance then that’s what will spread. I want a world of peace, love and tolerance and that is the example I aim to set and win by. #amliberty

Not having the wealth, income, goods or services you’d like doesn’t mean you aren’t free. If barriers are placed in your way to work towards things you want like taxes, regulations and licensing making you stuck where you are, THEN you may be limited in your freedom. #amliberty

I aim to promote love. Although, Tolerance isn’t love but the ability to coexist. People deeply undervalue the worth of coexistence in today’s world. I promote love, but tolerance is a win/win for everyone. #amliberty #libertarian

Many people talk about people having equal access to things like healthcare and education. I don’t want equal, I want people to seek the best they can get. I do want open access to goods and services like health and education with as little barriers as possible. #amliberty https://t.co/1UhMbxTZD3

People have given up hope of their elected officials doing good, and instead vote on the promise of who will do less harm. As long as you allow the system to make that your choice, that’s the choice it will present you. #amliberty https://t.co/Z5WfM9YAMt

A better world will never be created by violence. Despite our differences we should always aim for civil discourse in hopes of helping each other to evolve based on ideas. I condemn those who today attempted to use violence to cut that discussion short. #amliberty

The most important tools you have for changing how people think and behave are metaphors and your example. Metaphors often internally control how we interpret the world around us, and people emulate those they respect, admire and even envy. #advice #amliberty

I want a world where we exchange ideas, goods and services freely with each other. Where we relish in the relationships we develop with each other more and judge the relationship and lives of others less. Where knowledge accumulates rapidly from our choices. Freedom. #amliberty

Re: Voting Libertarian The odds may be high, but if things go my way, even a little, at least there will be genuine substantive change versus merely a change in tone, rhetoric and in whose cronies get political favors. #amliberty

‪To the extent anyone promotes non-violence, voluntarism and peace in our everyday interactions, they are my ally. To the extent they promote violence, war and theft they will find in me a loud antagonist. Why, because I’m a Libertarian. #amliberty.‬

Most people believe people just behave the way they behave so they must be controlled and punished when out of line. Libertarians understand people respond to incentives and expectations. Market incentives and expecting self-responsibility makes us better. #amliberty #Libertarian
