"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
