Mutually assured destruction isn’t just history books and the Cold War. It’s alive in Columbus and Washington. The red and blue machines have built so much dirt on each other that neither can act without risking collapse. They don’t govern for Ohio families. They govern for their own survival. Every election is a hostage crisis: pick one evil to block the other. Every scandal gets swept under the rug because if one side falls, the other goes with it. That is not democracy. That is tyranny with two faces.
Look at Donald Trump. Endless indictments. Lawfare. Even assassination attempts. The establishment is desperate to bury him, not because they’re clean, but because they’re just as filthy. Now James Comey faces indictment for lying to Congress. Everyone in the system has skeletons. Everyone protects their own because exposure means mutual destruction. And Ohio voters are stuck in the middle, watching elites play by rules that never apply to us.
That’s why Ohio needs challenger parties. We don’t carry the baggage. We don’t owe lobbyists or donor cartels that bankroll both red and blue. We don’t have dirty deals to protect. We can demand justice for all sides, because we’re not chained to the corruption that runs the Statehouse and the Capitol alike.
The insiders tell you voting third party is a waste. That’s their biggest lie. The real waste is letting the same two machines strip Ohioans of choice, freedom, and accountability. If you want real competition in your elections, if you want a legislature that answers to people instead of party bosses, then the duopoly must be broken.
Ohio has 99 State Representative seats. Every one of them should be contested. Every voter should see a choice on their ballot. The Libertarian Party of Ohio is building that alternative, a movement strong enough to stand outside the corruption, strong enough to demand equal justice and restore liberty.
The path to justice runs through new parties. The path to liberty runs through breaking the red-blue cartel. And the path to ending this political Cold War in Ohio starts with you choosing something different.
Join the LPO 99 Club and help fund challengers for all 99 Ohio House Districts.
