    I think this is a good interview because:

    • Larry Sharpe ran for NY Gov twice, and imo had a pretty decent platform
    • Larry Sharpe explains how the LP convention works
    • LP Convention got a lot of press due to RFK Jr. and Trump accepting an invitation to speak (Biden was invited and refused)

    I’m not going to bother finishing because it seems like LP 101, so I’m unlikely to learn anything. But it does seem like a good interview for people new to the LP Party.

    To be clear, Chase Oliver is the 2024 Libertarian Party nominee. He was a Democrat as a kid due to anti-war views, and found a home in the LP with those views. He is in favor of small government in pretty much every sense, and I think he has a good representative of LP values. I hope Chase puts out more content so people can get more familiar with his platform. He’s not my ideal candidate, but he’s a lot closer than anyone else running in the general election.

    Edit: I ended up finishing it. Larry Sharpe knocked it out of the park, and I lold when he said, “Reason isn’t libertarian, it’s Republicans who hate Trump.” The host was speechless, like her entire understanding of what a libertarian is was Robbie Suave, who, like Larry said, is basically a centrist Republican.

    Check it out, he even fields some chat questions and I really liked his answers, especially the one about labor unions. I sincerely hope he runs for LP President at some point, he’s pretty decent at communicating libertarian values.
