    So far, outside of a classroom, the only “Libertarians” I’ve seen in real life are people who vote republiQan and refuse to take accountability for it.

    Or people who don’t vote, and allow republiQans to rule while taking no accountability for it.

    So, they don’t support universal healthcare because republiQans don’t, and that’s what they really are.

      Actually, not voting is one of the most ideologicaly consistent things someone who is extremely libertarian could do. Because if you voted for something and got it passed. Technically your will could be used to infringe against perceived rights of others. So by rights any true ideological libertarian should never vote. But you’ll almost never see that on the right.

        Yeah. Lots of fake or failed Libertarians then?

      This is, imo, most likely a symptom of a first past the post voting system. It results in people not voting for whom they believe in, but, instead, to vote strategically in the very general direction of what is actually wanted.
