You vote? That's not very libertarian of you. Just kidding. I was trying (and failing) to make two points, though. The first is that those of us who view being left alone (and leaving others alone) as opposed to using the power of Government to perpetually bash people with whom we disagree over the head is a vanishingly small subset of the electorate.
The second is that the Libertarian Party is a fundamentally unserious bunch, moral high ground notwithstanding. I actually joined the party and voted for their ticket in 2016 (and for the extraordinarily well qualified and competent candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner. He lost badly, of course, to the Republican hack du jour). In a hostile system controlled by R's and D's, unserious is never going to cut it... although it's an exercise in futility regardless.
(I claim to be uber-libertarian, you know getting kind of close to that other Rand, no not Ron, but the one who wrote the hated book. The name and the book both start with A.)
Gee, Socialism wins again.....and again and again.
Thanks a lot doctrinaire libertarian/Libertarian/Conservatives
Look, wake up to the unavoidable reality that there is a very, very good reason why there can be only two parties, one more-or-less in power, and one more-or-less in opposition.
For POTUS anyway, either you vote for the lesser of two "evils," or you are increasing the chance that the greater of two "evils" wins.
(That would be Socialism/Statism, right libertarians?)

No offense intended.
