“The Libertarian Party is in the same place where African-Americans were prior to the ’60s. We’re in the same place where women were prior to getting the right to vote. We have to try harder because we are judged more harshly.” This was the response I received from Nicholas Sarwark, the chairman of the Libertarian Party, when we discussed the unfair treatment that its 2016 presidential candidate, Gary Johnson, received at the hands of the media. In truth, third parties do suffer from major structural disadvantages in the American system, as Sarwark pointed out, but I find it offensive to compare the ordeal of a libertarian candidate to the plight endured by victims of racial or gender-based oppression.
