PORTLAND, Maine – For voters who aren't excited about a rematch between President Biden and former President Donald Trump, Libertarian presidential nominee Chase Oliver’s pitch is strikingly simple.

“I'm under the age of 80, I speak in complete sentences, I'm not a convicted felon,” he says on the campaign trail. “It's a very low bar, but I've managed to clear that.”

Oliver is 39, an anti-war activist and the new public face of the Libertarian Party, the country’s third largest political party — and one that could influence who wins the White House in November. 

He’s not going to win the election, but that’s not his only measure of success. Getting the party more media attention, better ballot access and more Libertarian candidates into local office is also on the docket.

As a millennial politician, Chase Oliver has a different energy on the campaign trail than the buttoned-up Biden or meandering Trump, and is quite vocal about his ideas of what liberty means in theory and in practice.

“Broadly speaking, liberty means the right and the ability to live your own life as you see fit, in peace,” he said. “If you're not harming someone with force, fraud, coercion, theft or violence, if you're not doing any of those bad things, your life is your life. Your body is your body. Your business is your business, and your property is your property. It's not mine, and it's not the government's.”

Consider? Hell, my first vote was for Ross Perot.

Chase Oliver has my vote, looks like.

In NYS, the desperate power-hungry D/R duopoly in Albany have made it damn near impossible for voters to have any choices besides their candidates. 

🤬

So Chase Oliver will need to be a write-in.

So be it.

I forgot that they changed the rules yet again. Thank you for reminding me!
