The Libertarian Party is living in a fantasyland where Congress would actually make meaningful spending cuts. Trump hopefully is creating momentum to get Congress to act.
As much as anything the Loserterians have become a tool for the rats. Many of their candidates are financed by the Dems.
They can fight it out for their 3%.
Liberaltarians get an F, or at most a D-, for their “conservative” performance.
This is the perfect example as to why the Libertarian Party will remain insignificant, and will never get their opportunity to lead the nation.
Thus, they are grading Trump on something that does not fall under the Constitutionally delegated powers of the president. The president is unable to do anything legislatively, unless Congress provides him with legislation. Even then he can only either accepted it to become law, or reject is as presented.
The EOs should be looked at as Trump's suggestions to the legislature, but the limited intelligence of Libertarians fails to allow them to see exact what EOs are. They are methods to enact certain legislation for a temporary periods, but more importantly it is a signal to the legislators. Sadly, many legislators are as ignorant as the electorate that sends them to Congress.
Bing wouldn’t answer my question about how many Americans are libertarian party members. Google answered quickly and on point:
Membership (2024) 737,972
So, pitifully small.
Even at its best, libertarianism has flaws. But what passes for libertarianism these days is far worse.
Great point, and well said.
I have met Marxist Marxist, Gramschi Marxists, Fabian Socialists, Bosheviks, Mensheviks, National Socialists and Fascisti, but I have never met a Libertarian. They must be good at hiding.
So, do they count? 🤣
In a nutshell.
(Of course, that "limited intelligence" may be intentionally engaged to present a particular position.)
What? All 3 people in the party voted 2 B’s and a D-?
Tariffs and borders piss them off. That’s why they smoke pot.
i thought the The Libertarian Party had recently imploded into a smoldering heap of internal back-biting, loss of membership, and loss of donations ...
““Shrinking government is a win,” the party wrote. “But relying on executive orders instead of legislative change centralizes power, even when the policy is right.”
ah ... yet another “principles are more important than results” crowd, just like RINOs ...
Actually, I think a C- from libertarians is not bad considering a lot of them appear to be a little kooky.
Most libertarians I know personally voted for obama and biden. I tell them, “ I thought libertarians were for less government and more freedoms. I guess you’re in the pot, prostitution, pedophilia wing of the libertarian party.”
This is the same group that supported unlimited immigration.
