    He thought he could roll in and get their endorsement over their own candidate.

    Say what you want about the Libertarians, they are not the drooling idiots of the MAGA crowd.

      Yeah they’re not stupid, they’re selfish. So they’re not that different from some Republicans.

        They’re not Repub-level stupid, but they do think libertarianism would work.

        Selfish or immature/naive. I feel like most guys go through a libertarian phase, no matter how brief it might be.

      I mean I have different opinions than most Libertarians but I applaud the true Libertarian POV of “leave me the fuck alone”

      If I lived alone on an island, I’d probably be one too.

      But, considering the government (Republican or Democratic) will take whatever the fuck they want from my wages and then gouge me again on sales tax, I just want to dump as much of those taxes into helping others and the rest can go to helping to maintain and expand green spaces as well as infrastructure and roads.

        Fun fact: most libertarians don’t want to be left alone. They don’t want to be regulated. They still want a society with rules, they just want those rules to be whatever they decide works for them, without regard to whether those rules would fuck over someone else.

        Some so-called libertarians actually do want to live apart from society but at that point they’re just antisocial. Because being libertarian means you need to be part of a group, which is antithetical to the ethos of being left alone.

        Both of these cohorts are no fun at parties.

        Social libertarian, so many here seem to forget this label exists.

        In honestly though, labels are fucking stupid. No one can directly fit under any of them, without a “but” clause stating the shit they don’t agree with.
