Are You Smarter Than the Average Voter?
Inspired by the old game show, this week’s poll asks a simple question about political confidence. Many people believe they understand public policy better than the average voter — but is that actually true? Tell us how you see yourself compared with the typical voter.
Welcome to Bee Libertarian
Bee Libertarian exists for a very practical reason: we needed a website in order to authenticate email and reliably reach people. But once that door was open, it felt wrong not to step through it.
It’s heartbreaking to watch what is happening in America. Across human history, those who crave power have rarely made good leaders — and today, on both the left and the right, power-seeking dominates our politics. The results speak for themselves.
In theory, this moment should be tailor-made for libertarians. In practice, libertarians tend to want to be left alone — and that means we haven’t always been great at explaining ourselves, organizing, or making our case to the broader public. Bee Libertarian is an attempt to help change that.
What is Bee Libertarian?
Bee Libertarian is a weekly email and commentary project focused on liberty-first analysis of California and national politics. We don’t chase outrage or personalities. We focus on individual liberty, consent, property rights, and voluntary exchange — and we call out government overreach whether it comes from the left or the right.
Why independent matters
Bee Libertarian is independent by design — no talking points, no donor pressure, no need to defend bad ideas “because our side said it.” We encourage participation in the Libertarian Party, but this project exists to speak honestly, even when that’s uncomfortable.
