" Non sequitur " ? Hardly ! If, as many FR Libertraians claim, they don't agree with many LP platform stances, but then say that they are voting for the Libertarian " on proncile ", that IS hypocritic ; the candidate doesn't share their oh so vaunted principles at all. So, where is the " principled vote in that ? It's similar to saying that 1 + 1 = 3 . Saying that over and over and OVER agian, doesn't make it true.
Over 1 million people voted for at least 1 Libertarian candidate in the 2000 election cycle. That's the most people ever to vote for Libertarians. The LP ran over 1400 candidates nationwide in the 2000 election cycle. That's the most LP candidates that have ever run simultaneously. In 2000 the number of registered Libertarians was roughly 265,000, up from around 100,000 four years earlier.
I looked up the numbers. You didn't.

Many Libertarians disagree with portions of the LP platform but vote Libertarian on principle. This is hypocritical how?
How were you able to determine that the candidate doesn't share their principles at all?

It is in no way similar. Your analogy is unrelated.
