“Victory” not necessarily being literal, as in winning the White House (though I’m going to include that as an option anyway), but being a major step forward and something to legitimately build on.
- 5% of the popular vote?
- 10% of the popular vote?
- 15%+ of the popular vote?
- Included in the debate(s)?
- Win a state, any state?
- Win outright?
- It won’t matter.
Sometimes I question whether the Libertarian Party is serious, or if they’re just playing politics. They need higher race candidates for exposure, but they do need to put actual effort and resources into local and/or state races, too, and they seem uninterested in doing that.
A successful city councilperson or mayor would have a good shot at getting elected to state government or as a House representative if they have city governing history to point to. They could then take their successful state or House term of office and work that toward the Senate, or even higher. Nothing breeds success like success.
