    We already have the Libertarian party, which is the actual Freedom Liberty party.

      Libertarians are more interested in simping for our corporate overlords and removing the age of consent.

        Nope that’s just the common Redditor’s prejudice against the party based on what they read on Reddit.

        I encourage you to read the actual party platform, which has none of what you described in it.

          Some of us have had actual conversations with “Libertarians” and found them to be pretty much in-line with the comment. Not all of us spent our lives on a website.

          It’s always deregulate-fuck-you-i-got-mine sociopaths. Libertarians are about as realistic and level-headed as Anarchists. It’s great on paper or for a small group but once millions of people are involved the bad actors show up and ruin it for everyone.

            Again, I refer you to the party platform. That is the only definitive thing that Libertarians as a party stand for.

            Your hearsay is irrelevant to that fact.

      Libertarians are just republicans who do drugs and are too embarrassed to call themselves republicans.

        Can’t confirm. I consider myself Libertarian, I don’t do drugs, and I have been voting more Democrat than Republican in the last few elections because the Republicans consistently go against my libertarian values. I had to change my affiliation to Republican to get a primary ballot (I’m in a red state, so I wanted to vote to try to limit the damage my neighbors might cause), and ended up voting Democrat in the general. Many of my Democrat friends do the same because the Democratic primary here is a joke.

        There are a lot of “libertarians” that are just edgy Republicans, but I doubt they even bother changing their party affiliation. An easy litmus test is if they support Trump, they’re not libertarian. That’s where I draw the line, and it has been pretty effective for me.

            Nope. I actually never voted for Obama. I voted for McCain in 2008, then I moved states and ended up not voting in 2012 (esp. when Ron Paul lost miserably), Gary Johnson in 2016, and then Biden in 2020.

            I think Obama was a decent executive, I just don’t feel like he really represents much of anything that I want. If I could replace Biden with Obama 2.0, I’d take it in a heartbeat, but I don’t think any President should server >2 terms, even if it was legal.
