    I do understand that the concept of financial Libertarianism is funding social programs through choice (charity) instead of by force (policy). National security, bare necessities, nothing else. I disagree with it, but I understand it.

    Aside from that though, I’ve seen a lot of regulation policy that Libertarians should be for. Like in regards to climate change. Destroying the environment should upset Libertarians, since it’s hurting others.

    In my red state, we had a real Libertarian running for governor and their positions were nearly identical to the Dem. Progressives and Libertarians should be making their voice heard in the primaries and then doing everything they can to stop Republicans (assuming they share values with the rest of the party). I don’t respect either if they don’t at least do that.

      The biggest issue I see with the party itself is the divide between left and right leaning. The party itself can’t agree on how the party should respond which means that the party won’t be taken seriously by Republicans or Democrats
