- hinkley 11y agoUnfortunately the Democratic party has been running afoul of civil liberties for decades. Especially those in or vying for the Oval Office. Have we all forgotten Clinton and Gore and all that bullshit with the Clipper Chip? Export strength encryption? I think that's probably a big part of why the Libertarian Party has any legs at all. Large number of people feeling disenfranchised by both major parties, especially around privacy and "things that don't hurt anybody".
