A BLEEDING-HEART LIBERTARIAN IN AMERICA'S DAIRYLAND

Good morning.

Well over a year ago, during the 2024 presidential race, the Harris campaign released a video entitled We Choose Freedom. It was Harris's first campaign ad.

I've thought about that ad, now and again, in the year and a half since it was released.

Harris was the better choice for liberty.

To be a libertarian — and that term still means something to a few of us — means being Never Trump. It has meant being Never Trump from the first moment he descended his gilded escalator. Indeed, being Never Trump before “Never Trump” became a phrase.

Those of us who are truly and deeply libertarian have been — and will always be — Never Trump. Never means never.

For this morning, a reminder that 2024 (as in 2016 and 2020) was an easy choice for any genuinely liberty-defending person.
