To be exact: Ronald Reagan famously said, "The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally - not a 20 percent traitor."

The standard libertarian position is that the person who agrees with you 99 percent of the time is a 100 percent traitor."

Very apt & so often lost sight of. We work first on essential common goals & then argue over the 20%.

“The standard libertarian position is that the person who agrees with you 99 percent of the time is a 100 percent traitor.”

That also seems to be a standard with many conservatives who SIT OUT ELECTIONS (or vote Libertarian) because the Republican is only with us 99% of the time, not 100%.

...and they think that is a way to “teach the Republicans a lesson”, when it is instead perceived by Republicans that they need to run a more ‘moderate’ candidate next time, to have a chance at winning.
