I agree that economic issues are of great importance right now, and this is one of the many reasons why I remain a registered Democrat who votes straight-Party far more often than not. I believe strongly in Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, SNAP, and other progressive programs, and my own voting record reflects this belief. So cheers to you, conservaphobe:
But I still WILL make some alliances with libertarians (note small 'L'). woomewithscience has done a good job in this thread of describing how we as a nation are literally teetering on the brink of Fascism at present, and I agree with this assessment. Frankly, fighting encroaching fascism is even more important to me than preserving any one particular social program (well, if they try to fuck with SS, all bets are off...), so an alliance on behalf of Harm Reduction, or the Fourth Amendment, or for that matter other substantive Constitutional Rights, is in fact very important.
