Is giving a minor medication to stop a known condition that causes them to enter puberty early leading to later health problems wrong? Should federal laws exist that make it illegal or difficult for doctors to prescribe valid treatments because some people may use those treatments inappropriately? The problem is that laws have consequences and require enforcement. The discretion of a power tripping cop or district attorney not to use the law to go after legitimate treatment is no more guaranteed than the discretion of a doctor not to misuse the treatment. I would rather have the occasional malpractice of a doctor that can be sued than systematic trampling of numerous other doctors and patients by a legal system that cannot be sued.

So the worries about immigration are just conservative media propaganda?? I’ve watched several interviews with this guy and I’m still on the fence, and his ideas about immigration are one of the reasons why. He seems WAY too lax about immigration. We saw what mass immigration did to the UK, and that also demonstrates why assimilation is important. I was liking all I was heating up until that point. Will keep listening though and see what I think afterwards.
@scottsch43Ай бұрын
He referenced studies showing that legal immigrants have a lower crime rate than citizens. Is that not convincing? Or does it not get at your concern? His platform has many other parts that, among other things, would help immigrants to live peacefully in the US, without resentment or entitlement. e.g. Reducing entitlement programs and making it easier for everyone to work.
@OB_GYN_KenobiАй бұрын
I agree, that’s where libertarians lose me. Scott, I take your point, but drastically reducing and restricting the nanny state BEFORE opening up immigration is necessary; as well as extremely unlikely so it’s almost not even worth discussing. When my Italian great grandparents came to nyc in the start of the 20th century, everyone had to make it on their own or with help from friends, not with free handouts for virtually every possible need in life. That “make it on your own” requirement forced assimilation and proved an immigrants worth to the country. Now they come here with no interest in work, it’s just for the free stuff. It’s made worse when we see Muslims yelling death to America while putting Palestinian flags up in place of the American flags they tore down and lit on fire. These scenes immediately make me want to throw my hands up and vote for whomever is most likely to put an immediate end to that, as well as the obvious abuses to our “asylum system” that’s used exclusively for economic migrants and potential terrorists who can now walk across the border and wait around in America while they can coordinate whatever schemes they have in mind.

How can chase criticize JD Vance for his past behavior when he has demonstrated himself to be rather weasley and self-serving. Oliver is also demonstrating that he still doesn't understand, the government doesn't need to make a specific law for companies to fall in line with its authoritarian rule. Companies and their insurance providers don't magically ignore the past. Even if the Supreme Court tells the CDC that they're acting unconstitutionally that doesn't mean they magically reverse course. It is amazing how the left-leaning libertarians call themselves pragmatist, when they seem to live in this magical utopian world in which the entire population is going to ignore the government's previous trespasses.

The best thing about Chase Oliver is that his nomination has freed up so many libertarians to make a difference by voting for one of the shitty candidates that actually stand a chance of winning.

"To make a difference." Hilarious. Tell me how the democrat and republican policies will solve problems regarding the affordability of housing, healthcare, or education? They haven't because when the status quo makes you rich and powerful your goal is to protect the status quo.

I would have slightly more sympathy for libertarians' anti-military, defund the military, and isolationist policies if they had military and international relations experience. They come off as being ignorant of world history, and strangely, ignorant of human nature. Unlike our founding fathers who based our Constitution on an understanding of the natural moral limits of humanity, too many libertarians have a romantic, absolutist view of human aggression. Libertarians are moralist rather than realistic. God save us from the moralists. If there is no god, then we need to save ourselves.

As a long time Libertarian, the practicality of Libertarianism on a global scale is far different that it's applications domestically. It is definitely an area of weakness amongst a lot of libertarians.
@payleryder45Ай бұрын
It's because many libertarians are locked in adolescence, where being consistent within the ideological framework is far more important than creating beneficial practical outcomes. It's also the case that libertarians often lack a theory of mind - just because you want to act in accordance with libertarian principles doesn't mean that third parties are compelled to do so.

I expect what they meant by "liberal" is "classical liberalism", which focuses on civil liberties and free markets. That used to be a part of the libertarian guidelines, but I guess all of that has fallen by the wayside.
@jw1980Ай бұрын
@@shaun7142 And i referred to him as a social democrat. I never said anything about liberalism. If classical liberalism is what they meant they should have said that. Rather then just saying liberal and expecting me to define it the way it was defined 60 years ago versus the consensus on it what liberal means today. Its a silly argument to make.
@shaun7142Ай бұрын
@@jw1980 Yes you did, and I assume the other commenter viewed that the same way. That is, you aren't actually talking about social democracy, you're talking about the fact that he has some social aspects that align more with Democrats, who tend to be more liberal in their policies, specifically the more classical liberal parts. Note, social democrat means they support a reformist platform that would bring a country gradually towards socialism, using things like an expanded welfare state and state control over the economy. That is nothing like what Chase has argued for. Instead, as shown in your second comment, you were talking more about social policy that vaguely aligns with Democrats. Liberalism in general doesn't mean Democrat. Have you ever heard the term "liberal democracy"? Liberalism is at the core of our institutions, and the way Democrats have used the word has no bearing on what the word means in general.
