The whole "we're more right than the right and more left than the left" resonates about as much as "we're neither left nor right." In other words, most people dismiss it.

Most people dismiss lots of things. That doesn't make those things incorrect, and it certainly doesn't mean they shouldn't be said.

And in any case, Dave wasn't talking to "most people" - he was talking to the people who watched the debate with Fuentes. He was speaking about what sort of approach is better when addressing others on the left or right. When addressing reachable rightists, approaching them from the left is certainly not going to work (if anything, it will simply make them dig in their heels against you) - and addressing reachable leftists by approaching them from the right isn't going to work any better (and for the same reasons). So what Dave said is spot on - it makes far more sense to approach people from the direction in which they already inclined.

Right. Which is why Dave and the rest of the LP will continue to wallow in obscurity. They care more about principles than actually relating to people.

It makes sense for libertarians to embrace the right. That much is true. He is wrong if he thinks leftists will embrace him. They would throw him in the gulag and he knows this.

Yeah, thanks for the advice and all - but if your idea of "actually relating to people" is sneering that they will "continue to wallow in obscurity" (unless they do things just the way you say they should) and telling them they shouldn't care so much about their principles (instead of trying to find a way to appeal to their principles), then I think I'll pass. I rather suspect Dave would, too.

It makes sense for libertarians to embrace liberty.

To the extent that anyone on the right or the left is willing to do so, then they should be approached, encouraged, and yes, even "embraced".

To the extent that anyone on the left or the right is not willing to do so, then they should be told to just go kick rocks.

You mean as opposed to rightists who would throw him out of a helicopter?

(Or is it only okay to make broad, sweeping generalizations about everyone on the left, but not about everyone on the right?)

When did I say that?

No worries. The right has been gaining ground and momentum at the State and local level without Dave and the MC. We will continue to do so.

How's that approach working out for you? Let me guess. I just need to wait for 2022...then 2024...then 2028...then 2072. You just need more man-power, money, resources, ballot access and Kennedy and Joe Rogan appearances.

You don't get it. Anytime you appeal to one tribe, you lose the other. This imaginary coalition of right and left is farcical. Can you point to any recent successful campaign where the winner got elected with a left-right coalition?

Dave isn't a communist. There is no reason to throw him out of a helicopter.
