We just really need to find a Libertarian party that isn't a joke. I actually liked Andrew Yang, but it wasn't in the cards
him. Hoping he gets the seat of NYC mayor, though!
Yeah, Libertarian parties are a bit of a mess.
For one, if the party's program does not align at least 95% with a given libertarian, that given libertarian is unlikely to
support that party. Compare that to the average mainstream voter, who will support his party just by virtue of opposing the
other party :-)
Then there is the problem that they tend to be lumped together with other ideologies. People wil then start saying that
Libertarians are just Democrats that like drugs or Libertarians are just gay Republicans.
Specially true when the party is actually selling out, because voters actually keep a grudge for those things.
I liked the guy they had in the UK one (I think it was Guy Montrose). He got kicked out and now their party has no
recogniceable ideology afaik, which in politics is a killer.
