Don’t confuse the Libertarian party with libertarian-ism. There is a right and left to the libertarian belief system. One is more compatible with conservatism the other with progressives. This is no different than the Republican split between RINOs and conservatives. The right leaning branch of the Libertarian party falls in-between that divide and can provide votes in an election.
The party is libertarianism, it represents the political positions of the anti-conservative political movement called libertarianism and puts it on paper, something that the sales agents hate.
Libertarianism is where a guy who likes conservative economics can still be a lefty on abortion, the border, the entire homosexual and drug thing etc.,
Libertarianism feeds the left with their support of the destruction of American society and culture and communities, with their cries that drugs and hookers and abortion and unlimited immigration, somehow creates good voters who who vote against increased welfare and for smaller government, it is bizarre and insane, but a brilliant strategy to give rinos and out as they can support good economics, but drop the pretense of true conservatism.
The most destructive words in politics. “”I’m conservative on economic issues, but libertarian on the social issues””
