Libertarian wins Libertarian Party nomination


Chase Oliver, left, with Mike ter Maat, the Libertarian Party's vice presidential nominee. (The signs refer to Ross Ulbricht). 

Given that the Libertarian Party has been in the hands of a right wing faction that likes Trump and is socially conservative, it wasn't obvious that the party would nominate an actual libertarian this time, and I was pessimistic. But the nominee picked Sunday, Chase Oliver, was the one backed by the Classical Liberal Caucus, the traditional libertarian group I generally agree with. Oliver has an official website where you can read his platform. 

On Twitter, Jesse Walker wrote, "Look at that: There are still enough libertarians in the Libertarian Party to nominate an actual libertarian for the presidency. Congratulations to Chase Oliver."

Bonus libertarian content: Ayn Rand denies she wrote a blueprint for the Illuminati to take over the world.  

If you can't access the X.com clip, you can watch Ayn Rand on the the old Phil Donahue show in 1979, and the bit with Ayn Rand being asked about the Illuminati appears at about 4:50.
