Both parties will continue to learn the wrong lessons. Democrats will think that their preferred style of tyranny is now popular. Republicans will think that they would still be popular "if only we didn't attack Iran." Both parties will continue making the same mistakes because the duopoly is structurally unaccountable to the voters.
Key advice for all political actors.
Don't overlook the power of a blank ballot. Politicians want to count your vote and will notice if it is missing.
May Libertarians in those 19 towns please step up for candidacy. Show the old parties that there are limits to how much abuse they can get away with unchecked.

The number one concern in America right now is that the government is corrupt.

Connecticut and New Jersey have more than $20,000 in debt per capita. Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Delaware have more than $17,000 in debt per resident. Alaska, Wyoming, Washington, North Dakota, California, New York, Vermont, and Maryland have over $10,000.

Zoning is one area in which Libertarians can have a substantial impact in securing property rights for individuals and opportunities for small businesses. Zoning, like all other regulations, ends up as a handout to the wealthy and the well-connected.
We'll be working on more! 2027

In 1995, Gordon Haave was elected to Greenwich’s Representative Town Meeting.
LPCT histories identify him as the first Libertarian elected to public office in Connecticut.

Political movements that win at higher levels of office do not arrive fully formed. They compound. A state representative race this year becomes name recognition next year, becomes a county commission seat after that, becomes a credible congressional campaign the cycle after that. Every durable political movement in American history was built this way, almost always by people who lost first and kept going anyway. lp.org/why-its-important-to-…
The United States still has time to avoid the mistakes of Britain. Supply constraints and high prices are always a matter of excessive government intervention. We know where government needs to get out of the way. All that is missing is the political will to do so.
"Britain was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution—where cheap, abundant coal fuelled the inventions that built the modern world. Those breakthroughs—railways, modern medicine and electricity—transformed humanity. But we often forget that it was energy, our ability to produce it and (crucially) to store it, that made all of this possible.
Yet despite this proud history as the original energy superpower, modern Britain is anything but: it is burdened by crumbling infrastructure, a sclerotic planning system and skyrocketing bills. Central to these energy challenges is our energy insecurity."

Americans demand and receive the best services in the world in all aspects of life except for in politics. Our consumer goods, scientific, and technological achievements are all products of market-driven innovation.
Two party politics necessarily impedes competition, chilling progress and innovation. Its time for Americans to demand better from their government in the way that they demand better from the private sector.
If these career politicians were interested in addressing affordability they would have started working on ideas years ago instead of waiting for an election year. Republicans and Democrats do not sincerely monitor the interests of Connecticut residents.

Checks and balances plus decentralization brought us the individual freedoms of the modern age. Powerful, centralized authority can only exist as a threat to these freedoms.
The vision of the Revolution, of equal rights for all, is betrayed when we choose government as our tool to solve social problems.
American independence did not extend liberty to women, but it changed the rules by which they could obtain it. @jmelemke on how new ideas about liberty, wider freedom of action, and local autonomy made the fight for women’s rights possible

No Republican or Democrat can be trusted on cost of living issues. Only the Libertarian Party wants to prevent government from interfering with the efficiency and productivity of a consumer-driven market.
The two party system only exists to nullify any sense of competition. This is why all Democratic and Republican politicians effectively govern the same way with the same results.
