Oklahoma law lets parties choose whether to let independents vote in their primaries or not. On April 12, the Oklahoma Libertarian Party voted to allow independents in its 2026 primaries.
Oklahoma Libertarians did not allow independents to vote in their primaries of 2018, 2020, 2022, or 2024.
Get ready for more communists to take over the Libertarian Party.
Voting in a primary election has nothing to do with controlling the leadership of the Libertarian Party. The Oklahoma Libertarian Party has already had its state convention and the leadership has been chosen. No communists were elected to OKLP offices. Were you there?
Independents can choose the candidate the LP runs in the general you stupid fuck. What prevents more communists from running and advancing to the general?
NOOO PRIMARIES

Richard– I have something in my notes for 2022 but i do not have it from an official source: The Democratic Party is allowing Independent voters to participate in its primaries and runoffs in 2022 and 2023. The Republican and Libertarian Parties will use a closed primary for 2022.

Thank you, Tony. I will amend the post.
@Robinson is a retard…. If more “communists” (read socially liberal and personal freedom advocates) advance to the general election, wouldn’t that dilute the “communist” vote in the general election? Isn’t that good for the “non-communists” (read fascists and social authoritarians) in a plurality system?
“Aiden” is one of Robert K Stock’s pseudonyms. He needs help.
@Stop trolling…. If you want to believe that go right ahead, but man you are a paranoid whack job retard; nor did you manage to address my point in any capacity. You did nothing but deflect; aka engage in a straw man.
Your point is based on misrepresentation. Communists and modern leftists of any and all sorts advocate the opposite of personal freedom. That includes fascists, who are – contrary to common misconception – actually leftists.
The effects of multiple flavors of Marxist, Fabian, and fascist parties of the left are complex. On the one hand, they can accidentally split their anti-freedom, pro big government support base and occasionally elect someone marginally in favor of limiting or even shrinking endless government overreach. On the other, they push and prod public opinion in the direction of centralization of power in many different paths that they couldn’t accomplish if they were unified along one path.
Many paths, but the same endpoint – total government control of everything everywhere forever. A living hell on earth with any hope of anything different eternally extinguished. But many simultaneous paths to get there, engaging and plugging in people in ways that a single path can’t.
In the case of libertarians, a hostile takeover by Fabian/Marxist termites also serves to preemptively neutralize potential opposition, heading it off at the path for them.
