I made this case to the point of nausea while campaigning for John McAfee in 2016. Unfortunately, just as most voters don't wish to have their minds changed, neither do the majority of the dues-paying-delegate-voting Libertarians wish to admit certain realities. This is a major obstacle for anyone with an idea to try to put the Libertarian ballot to actual use in 2020, as opposed to squandering it in the usual fashion of anointing two dorks to ape establishment politicians. I wish you luck.

Libertarians Should Stop Trying to Appeal to Voters
McAfee failed to run a delegate strategy within the LP. He thought he could swing in and convince the people who were already there to vote for him, not understanding that the people who were already there were placed there by each campaign.

Not a bad assessment, but there were reasons for this reality beyond what McAfee thought. However, I maintain that the mentality of those opposed to him remains largely intact. They don't like McAfee, the people that know who I am don't like me, and I promise you they do not like Adam Kokesh. So... obstacle is an appropriate description.
Can Adam put more delegates on the floor than whatever establishment dishrag they produce next round? It is certainly possible, and I did not say that he faced an insurmountable obstacle. But I will say again, do not dismiss the pervasive and willful ignorance you are up against, and the fact that these pinheads will be at the front of the line to become delegates for the "respectable" candidate.
