Since the Convention has passed, Chase's campaign has seemingly been in a media black hole, more so than I've traditionally seen for a third-party candidate during a Presidential election year. You guys nominated him. He's out there on the streets representing your Party and your values. Where is the LP's support for him?

*Note* I didn't ask what you dislike/like about Chase Oliver. Don't care. Just trying to get a handle on where his campaign is at any why it's invisible.

I've been through a few Presidential elections at this point and I'm certainly no stranger to corporate press deliberately excluding third-party candidates, but this is the first time I've been unable to to find even one where the LP candidate is actually reflected. I can't find Oliver featured in even one poll and his campaign isn't on OpenSecrets. I feel like I'm experiencing the Mandella Effect. Does anyone know what's even happening with his campaign? Is it real? Was the convention a fever dream? Am I alive right now?

Note: I'm not asking for your personal thoughts about Oliver. I don't care.

Polling over the last year has consistently shown the majority of Americans do not want a Biden v. Trump rematch. At the same time, the remainder of polling indicates this is the most likely matchup. How is it possible that the majority of Americans can simultaneously want/not want two unpreferred candidates? Is age alone really sufficient to explain this phenomenon?

Below is the "polling" I reference in the first sentence:

Fusionism, as I understand it, is an alliance between Libertarian/Classical Liberals and Conservatives which allows Libertarian-minded politicians to shape policy via the Republican Party. The Republican Party is on track to have Donald Trump as its nominee for 2024. The Republican Party, en masse, has endorsed, acquiesced, and supported many of Trumps proven falsehoods and conspiracy theories about the integrity of national elections in addition to proposing many policies that directly challenge the idea of individual liberty.

Do these clear and present flaws within the ranks of the Republican Party make fusionism a future liability for Libertarian-minded politicians? Is the Liberty movem
