Thread: Rebekah Bydlak - We need this woman in Washington really bad

    So excited for Rebekah. The primary field is very crowded with contested candidates. Even a second place finish would be a victory.

    She had little to no support from the liberty movement until the last week or so. We aren't a really effective arm at getting people elected.

    20 something year olds are not very good at getting elected to anything, especially Congress, on the first try. As I originally pointed out, she ran in the wrong race. If

    She had run for country commission or city council, then there would have been a very good chance she would have won

    Plus you need party support. That is what split her from the 5% and the 20% receivers.

    There are 7600 people in the district who voted for her, a ton of people in the liberty movement who know her name because Ron Paul and Justin Amash endorsed her, and a ton more people who worked on her campaign that will work toward liberty in who knows what ways in the future. People like Rebekah who actually take the step to do things like this are winning. Armchair quarterbacks on the sideline are losing.

    I don't think it's a good idea to chase these federal offices, especially with no record. But it's not like her running was a bad thing though. Maybe she has the recognition now to win a more local race.

    I wonder how many times liberty candidates will have to lose before they learn to embrace the populist anti-establishment wave in the GOP

    Most politicians lose an election or two in their careers. Not surprising that she didn't win. Its good to get the experience. And she has the big gunn connections that's for sure.

    Oh, you mean the other authoritarian big government wave? Then they wouldn't be liberty candidates.

    I don't think we've seen the last of her. She's a great writer and public speaker.

    In a field of eight candidates, there was nothing that made her stand out or would have voters prefer her over the seven others, anyway. This loss is hardly surprising.

    You ride someone else's wave, you're beholden to their ideas. What are those populists gonna do when our people vote to cut the military? They'll say that we're "selling out to the dirty Muzzlims." Or when our people vote to demilitarize the police? They'll be called race traitors. What if President Trump does something horrificly anti-liberty? When our people oppose him, they'll be enemy #1 of the Trump hoardes.

    Don't get me wrong. I think a Liberty-based populist anti-establishment message is good and would work better than what Rebekah did, which was kind of the standard "I'm the next generation!" thing that makes old people think of you as a 12-year old. But the Trump movement is NOT our movement. I didn't join the liberty movement to stop the "browning of America" as Ann Coulter would say. Sorry.

    So which populist anti-establishment candidates won this year? All I saw were establishment wins up and down the board.

    Still couldn't have possibly done worse than the liberty movement has this year nationally.

    Agreed. Certainly the most important races to the liberty movement are New Hampshire House and New Hampshire Senate races because of the Free State Project.

    Ramsey mentioned that Liberty for All is currently focusing states like New Hampshire, where there is a “culture of liberty.” He noted that during the 2014 midterm election cycle, Liberty for All was “successful in about 30 races,”

    That said, I've known Rebekah for years and am proud of what she accomplished!

    All of the primaries haven't happened yet. The most important races are the New Hampshire House and New Hampshire Senate races. See the primary recommendations here. http://libertyballot.com/

    Hopefully the FSP boosts us in NH. I think that all liberty-minded folks should look locally or at the state level for races in the future. Built a resume, show you have what it takes to lead, and then work your way up from there.

    I agree that given the fact that it was a stretch to every think she would win the race, her fundraising was impressive.

    Exactly, especially since her narrative wasn't that good, and she did not fit the profile for this race.

    It was bad because it consumed resources, including emotional energy. Defeats like this are very demoralizing to the grassroots, especially after they get pumped. Also, think of what those resources could have done for a state or local race? Instead they have probably turned a bunch of people off, and wasted a lot of money. The only way this isn't true is if she runs for a state or local office and wins as a result of her name recognition from this race (which I hope she does)

    Maybe, again it depends on what she does with her lists. If she uses them productively, then yes it could be a win, even if not an electoral victory. Time will tell. And no, I am not an armchair quarterback lolz.
