We gotta merge all the Libertarian right and libertarian center parties.
Let's do the math.
●Pepe has about 6 votes. [We are currently working for common sense.]
●Common Sense has about 10 votes [Strangememe is a big draw, but we aren't exactly sweeping the polls...]
● HCP has between 15 and 20 votes depending on if you can get the crusaders stream to show up.
●So we can put out around 30 to 35 votes if we merge the parties.
That's more than half the total votes. That wins.
● 3 Libertarian parties having to get along, is much better for the stream than Incognito reforming the RUP when the parties that broke off from him figure out they can't actually win in about a week.

Envoy said he might join HCP. Don't knowabout Strangmeme. I've been campaigning in crusader_stream. But we need more campaign memes.

Merging would be great. But how soon can it happen?

Gotta happen soon.

CSP is in favor.

Yes!

Ye

I'm Game for Whatever..

Yeah. Let's do it. Merge the parties.

I'm personally in favor of merging the parties. I still have to hear from the rest of my party before fully committing to one, but so far, it looks like CSP favors the merger.

Regarding how the new party is structured, I think we should keep the old parties separate, but they work together to run the main party. HCP, CSP, and Pepe can reach out to new voters in their own way and then either appoint their nominees or run a sub-primary within their own party if there are enough candidates in a party. Once the parties have their candidates, they then run in the main primary to become the main party's nominees.

I will compile a list of Common Sense Party proposals so that we can negotiate for what we all want to run on.

Update: CSP is in favor of merging.

Nice.

Ight. Fair enough. All of HCP's candidates have agreed. Fak_u_lol most likely agrees. But it's overwhelmingly yes.

Alright alright. But how do we sort on who becomes our candidates? Cuz we don't wanna upset ppl who are already nominees.

Alright.

I would suggest holding a debate between the current candidates, then run a primary a couple days after to give people time to participate in and view the debates.

Alright. Good idea. That would give them time to think about their policies.

I was also thinking we should keep the current streams we have active. Since each party will have their own branch in the new party. So things would be more organized.

Depends on policy.

Good point. I explained how primaries would work to Richard.

Wdym by policy btw?

Like Libretarians and conervatives have different values which leads to some different policies we might disagree with

ight.

So what do you think about Pepe and CSP merging with us?

It's good

ight

I say yes. We can gain more voters

Ight. So we're most likely merging. Surly's on board and idk about fak_u_lol

Which ones?

CSP and Pepe

Would we have to get rid of candidates to merge?

Don't know. we could just do another primary between the candidates since we've got 2 or 3 weeks left.

Sounds fair, I'm in favor.

Ight.

I say yes. We get more members and votes without changing all our policies to appease a different ideology

Exactly. And true. Plus we'll unify the Libertarian vote. And we'll be super active. We can make IP fun.
