    The “Libertarians of NH” com is run by Republicans, which is why they’re advocating votes for Republicans rather than Libertarians.

      If they were a real libertarian party New Hampshire might be a pretty good state to actually compete with the Republicans.

        New Hampshire has more Dems than GOP at this point. Harris beat Trump by 3-pts in 2024, when she was underwater in every other battleground state. The only reason Sununu has a chance at the Senate in 2026 is his last name (same reason Manchin was impervious to Republicans in West Virginia).

        The Free State Project has been a joke since the Obama Era. Not only did Libertarians fail to flip the state, but Masshole Liberals have fully swamped whatever base of Libertarian support the state once had.

          Sure. I’m saying the Libertarians could match the state sentiment and social environment better than the Republicans. Libertarianism is an easy philosophy to adopt if you hate taxes and believe in “personal responsibility” but don’t want to be socially ostracized for the Republican’s culture war/many state.

            I think that’s been empirically disproven
