It seems like most of the libertarian conservatives who voted Trump ditched that party. Libertarian party seems to cater to more of the looney left now and slight government deregulation now

As a libertarian, when has the Libertarian Party even been passable, nevertheless good or great?

Also Gary Johnson seemed to set the party in a shitty direction

Libertarian was never even a political party that could be taken seriously. Just one to take votes away from some candidates. Are you serious?

The Libertarian party can't get off the ground because you can't have a charismatic leader without a doctrine to preach. Personal Liberty scares the hell out of people when you get right down to it.

The Libertarian Party has always been a bit of a freak show, which is sad because libertarianism is often what conservatives really want.

We need a 3rd and 4th party.

#1 and #2 don't seem to have a want to share.

Libertarian had never been a serious challenger… at least not to date. They’re too confused on their philosophy.

I can't speak to the LP, because they have always sucked so I never joined, but r/Libertarian is most assuredly a leftist hellhole.

It's to the point only like 25% of the posts even pretend to have a libertarian basis.

Muh open borders. Wasted vote. Same old bullshite.


Donald Trump was the most liberal Republican president to date. It just goes to show you how far we have fallen when a NYC liberal somehow becomes a ‘conservative’ in the eyes of Republican voters.

This is the kind of happy horseshite libertarians convince themselves is profound. Personal liberty doesn’t scare anyone, it’s the fact that so many use it as an excuse to harm others, and turn their back on real dangers.

To whom? How many cease fire agreements has Ukraine violated? How many UN resolutions have they violated? How many Russian jets did they fire SAMs at? How many bounties did the Ukrainian president pay for dead Russians?

The LP went to shite when Gary Johnson exponentially increased the membership of the party with people who don't follow libertarian ideals at all.

Gary introduced the idea that you can be libertarian, without supporting the pillars of libertarianism, like for example, freedom of association, a first generation extremely vital liberty, which this fricking moron seems to think it's not neccesary.

Add all the leftists who want ''libertarian socialism'', and you have the piece of shite party that is nowadays, with the last candidate supporting a fricking marxist organization to sway voters, then backpedaling when seeing that actual libertarians didn't liked it.

The LP is a pathetic party that sell out before even actually winning strength, and most of the people there are either discontent idiots or just straight out socialist posing as libertarians.

They are disgusting to me, an actual libertarian.

Because they tried to put all different forms of libertarianism, and some that are not even libertarians just morons who don't want to pay taxes under the same banner.

They are fricking stupid and a shame for the libertarian movement world wide.
