RE: How Does the Libertarian Party Nominate Its Candidate for President?
Great article and advice @benfarmer. The problem I have is the cost to attend the state and national conventions. It also costs to attend the various events and for people on fixed or limited incomes this becomes a battle, do I eat this week or attend this event? What about the people that for health reasons can't travel easily? Then the people with jobs and children. These people get left out of the process many times and hopefully there will be more thought put into how everyone can be included in the process that wants to be a part of it regardless of their financial status or whatever reason. Another reason that the idea of using the blockchain needs to be seriously explored, to make the LP more inclusive. Politics has become all about the money and Ms. Cynthia McKinney discussed that some when she was with @adamkokesh at Anarchapulco 2018, which was a really good video.
Convention dates are released years ahead of time. For instance, we already know that the 2020 National Convention will be held at the JW Marriott in Austin, TX over Memorial Day weekend. I usually spend right around a thousand dollars for travel, hotel, tickets, and food for a National Convention which means that if I can manage to save 42 dollars a month between now and then, then I’ll be able to afford it.
But, since Adam Kokesh has offered to upvote supporters’ Steemit posts, any of his supporters can easily pay for their National Convention experience just by participating on Steemit.
