Which weekend op-ed headline team are you on? “Libertarians Spoil the Election: Jo Jorgensen exceeds Biden’s margin in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia,” by Walter Block? Or “One Group Is Unreservedly Happy About the Election Results: Libertarians are pleased to have likely dodged the bullet of one-party government control,” by Liz Mair? (As you know, there can only be two choices in American politics…)
The Reason Roundtable podcast, featuring as it does four small-l libertarians (Nick Gillespie, Peter Suderman, Matt Welch, and Katherine Mangu-Ward), has a range of views on the subject. On today’s episode we discuss the promise and pitfalls of divided government, the worrying and soon-to-be-goosed trend toward pen-and-phone governance, the glass-half-full vs. glass-should-be-thrown-against-the wall interpretation of the Libertarian Party’s Tuesday, and also the marvelous late-breaking news that a COVID-19 vaccine appears to be incoming.
