I can't stand Jim but "If someone wants a party with no clear policy positions, you're it." made me burst out laughing.

We found a firm position. You can't have peace in your time.

War IS Peace, comrade.

Well, what Ron said in that Larry McDonald speech above is pertinent: run in the party you think you can win.

For some people, that may be the LP. But, that'll definitely be a local thing for you and your best chances will be in smaller towns in rural America.

For everyone else, take your pick but Dems and GOP run the show. I sometimes think we need to go back to the 2007-2012 Ron Paul strategy: take over the local GOPs... We have to admit there were some successes there.

If you want the more cynical approach: none of this really matters. The Doomsday clock is ticking away no matter what.

Or a Christian approach: don't trouble yourself with any of this nonsense. Our kingdom is not of this world and we only have one Lord.

...

Yep. Ron Paul understands.

Ron Paul was elected as a Republican, however.

"Run in the party you think you can WIN because political parties are irrelevant."

I hope that isn't the prevailing Christian approach. It is true our kingdom is not of this world. However, so long as we are on this world, there are injustices which should not be tolerated.

I get the same impression, based on my direct awareness and first-hand observations of him - which I admit are quite limited, as I have never paid much attention to Yang.

But some others who have paid more attention to Yang than I have are skeptical of him. Michael Malice, for example, makes no secret of the fact that he thinks Yang is an ambitious and conniving snake who knows exactly what he is doing.
