Some of the most optimistic projections expect 180 million will vote in the 2020 elections. The population is 328 million. 180/328 = approx 50% and about half of those people will determine the outcome. So at best 25% of the country tells the other 75% how to live. #amliberty

Difference between a Monarchy and a Democracy... at least in the latter you get to express a preference on who should take your stuff, squash your business, and send you to war. #Libertarian #amliberty

Commercials are 10x more painful during election season. It’s like every 30 seconds I’m told a different person is a horrible person yet not one commercial questions the premise whether these people should rule over us at all. #Libertarian #amliberty

Frustration turns into anger which turns into hate which turns into the impulse to coerce and control. How do we change it? With love which leads to kindness which allows forgiveness and the hope that allows us to let others live their lives freely. #amliberty #Libertarian

Well not everyone is passionate about elections but if so, focus on that. If your passion in promoting liberty is education, media, community, or entrepreneurship focus on that. A free world in our lifetime requires all hands on deck pushing in all directions. #amliberty

I became #Libertarian in 2007 because of the Paul08 campaign. I don’t call myself a Ron Paul Libertarian or any sect out of respect. I want people I admire judged on their own terms and for others to not think my actions reflect them. So I’m just Alex, a Libertarian. #amliberty

I find frustrating how much time people waste rehashing the past when we can be focusing on building the future. #Libertarian #Movement #InFighting #Unfortunately #EveryoneDoesIt #Amliberty

I’m an individualist and Labels at best only represent small pieces of who we are. I don’t expect all libertarians, progressives and conservatives to be uniform in thought, action or preferences. I will consider you as you are not as you were or how someone else is. #amliberty

If you didn’t see my livestream from earlier give it a watch. I essentially ramble on about why election are a bad way to make big societal decisions. => https://t.co/B23LfVHxrT #Libertarian #Amliberty

I guess Tiny windows would stimulate the economy less when they break. Bad plan. #Debates2020 #Amliberty #BrokenWindows #Snark

Raising the minimum may not always make businesses close but it can slow down hiring, raise prices, price out lower skilled labor from the market (cause you attract higher skilled competition) and other problematic issues. #Debates2020 #amliberty

There just isn’t anymore money at any level federal, state or local. Sooner or later you’ll be looking to us #Libertarians since we are the only ones with a practical affordable solution, empowering individuals to be the solution. #Debates2020 #amliberty

People should have affordable healthcare but it takes a market to do that the US healthcare system is so detached from consumer autonomy it’s obscene. Changing the third party payer doesn’t fix the root of the problem. #Debates2020 #amliberty #Libertarian

So if the future is so bleak regardless of whether Biden or Trump is in charge, why am I voting @Jorgensen4POTUS? With Jo, at least I can feel there is hope and a voice for a better direction away from these trends. #amliberty #Libertarian

For the foreseeable future our dreams and aspirations will continue be choked by growing barriers to entrepreneurship and investment while watching our savings and wages eroded to facilitate government largess. #amliberty #Libertarian

Regardless what happens on Nov. 3rd Governments federal, state and local will spend more than they bring in. Friends and family will continue to be sent overseas to fight & die in conflicts that often beget more conflict. #amliberty #Libertarian

This “Battle for the soul of the nation” rhetoric is infuriating, a lot of people with the difference of opinion aren’t “The Dark Side” or the Orcs of Mordor. What we need is to hear each other not fear each other! #empathy #amliberty

Whether a perspective is mainstream or not, if one does not express it how does one know that perspective exists? This is why I express my libertarian view with my words, my dollars, my vote and my actions. #amliberty

Telling me voting for x is a vote for y is like telling me that listening to Horse the Band means Nickelback will sell less records. I like one and not the other, and just cause you like them doesn’t mean I have some obligation to your preferences. #amliberty

When you buy music, you buy music based on your tastes not on their likeliness to top the BillBoard charts, it’s an expression of who you are. The same goes for political action, winning as someone you are not is meaningless. #amliberty
— Alex Merced (@alexmerced) October 15, 2020
Sometimes people exaggerate a claim for political points. In the short run it may work but in the long run you look like a bully, untrustworthy, and you make the underlying claim useless when it matters. Be better. #amliberty

As a Libertarian I am for peaceful choice, consent, and tolerance in individual thought and action. Not just cause it sounds good, but in an ever changing uncertain world, individual action is the quickest and most effective way to achieve knowledge and progress. #amliberty
