Care Clift: The 2022 Platform of the Libertarian Party of Alaska
Manage episode 342358522 series 3295843
Carolyn "Care" Clift was the Libertarian Party of Alaska's candidate for governor in 2014, their lieutenant governor candidate in 2018, and AK senate candidate in 2020. She is the current chair of the Libertarian Party of Alaska's Platform Committee, and today we discuss that document. Although Libertarians seem like a fringe party, they have thoroughly taken over the Republican party over the past 40 years. During a July 15, 2022, interview with the Alaska Landmine, Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson identified as a Libertarian, and thanks to mega-investment from Charles and David Koch most Republicans in elected office in our country today espouse Libertarian ideals and talking points, whether they know it or not.
Note: We use the term "prostitute" and "prostitution" in today's episode. I want to acknowledge that these are historically derogatory terms for sex work and sex workers, and I apologize for the use of this arcane language.
