>>1457036 there is no libertarian party, but cone and his crew are strongly anti libertarian, and dunka is a fascist.
We, in the other hand, are far more open minded.
A vote for GRBP is a vote for liberty, fraternity, and social evolution!
A vote for Tenta is a vote for sanity, progress, and equality! (flag unrelated)

MAWM has been the perpetrator of weeb genocide and censorship, whereas dunka is a self described fascist. the GRBP is also against many things, but we promise social equality to all memes and shitposters.

Yo, Durka's been a veteran of parliament since it's inception. Who knows what this "ConeBad" namefag is: he could just be some newfag that Bolvane scraped off of Discord or something and elevated up to his mouthpiece. Even if you don't believe in fascism, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that letting MAWM control everything isn't democracy.
