In this episode of Libertarian Counterpoint, James Just, John Cameron, and Richard Fields discuss the following topics:

How state governments are violating the rights of their citizens in various areas, such as voting, guns, abortion, speech, and privacy, and why we need to resist their tyranny.
How the DNC is trying to manipulate the primary process by pressuring New Hampshire democrats to change their primary date, and why this shows the corruption and hypocrisy of the Democratic Party.
How big labor unions are lying to their members and the public about their political activities, and why we need to end the practice of forced union dues and support workers’ freedom of choice.
How the mainstream media is fueling the outrage culture and polarizing the society, and why we need to be more skeptical and critical of their biased narratives and agendas.
How the horseshoe theory of politics explains the similarities between the far-left and the far-right, and why we need to reject both extremes and embrace the libertarian principles of individual liberty and limited government.
