COMMENTARY: Elections limited to two-party system is unhealthy

Uncontested elections are even worse Petitioning recently ended for the members of the political duopoly for their upcoming primary election in Illinois taking place on March 17, 2020. Only in two counties was a political party that was neither Democrat nor Republican allowed to slate candidates for their own partisan primary. Libertarians in McLean and Kankakee counties recently filed their petitions for their own party primary. It's bad enough when your choices are often limited to Democrat or Republican, but […]

COMMENTARY: Yellow journalism from so-called libertarian outlets aren’t helping the cause of the Libertarian Party

A "news piece" by Ryan Lau from supposedly libertarian news outlet 71 Republic came out today bashing the Libertarian Party regarding its finances, but it appears Mr. Lau didn't do any research at all. This commentary is not to snap back at the content and headline that screams "hit piece". This is to feature the backlash received on social media following publication over the unsubstantiated and unverified information the publication chose to publish.
