South Dakota’s a weird spot for national politics. While we’ve been getting headlines this year (Covid, Smithfield’s, Rushmore, Kristi Noem on Fox, etc…) we’re still pretty far off of the campaign trail for most big candidates. Why? ‘Cause the Republicans got a lock on our 3 teeny little electoral votes. So when someone does swing through, we like to take a look.
Last night it was Libertarian VP candidate Spike Cohen. He spoke for a bit at Falls Park, introduced by some other Libertarians running for local office, and took time get his selfie on with a gaggle of adoring fans.
Smart guy, filled with conviction. Whether or not the Libertarian solution is what this country needs is up to you. (We stay out of the endorsement racket!) But if you like your weed and love your guns, and just generally doin’ your own thang…well, he’s your man.
Regardless, it’s good to get a few more voices out there mixing things up. It’s a big country. No reason to stay stuck with two choices. Can we agree on that???
