In reply to the discussion: Rand Paul is an entitled, arrogant, ignorant motherfucker who should fuck off [View all]Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)53. It's easy to get misunderstood here, or else I express myself poorly.
I'm not a fan of him or his policies, and I don't know enough
specifics to inform others. I am talking about the superficial
impressions of many young people who aren't terribly
informed politically, to whom Paul has an appeal because
of his "apparent" stands on issues that matter to them.
I can pass along links and so on to a few of them, but I
think it's worth a concerted effort on the part of progressives
and/or the democratic party to understand the libertarian
appeal to the young. They do not think of it as Republican,
they think of it as less authority.
