Most of us who call themselves Libertarians, regularly pull the lever based on the lesser of two evils....we tend to be a pragmatic folk. Yet, those on the idealistic right are unwilling to fight the real war. All or nothing strategies offer a 50% chance of nothing.
Here in Maryland we finally elected a Republican for Governor...yup, he had to run towards the middle. Some states are Never going to see the light of a true right winger again, because of the shift in demographics. However, you can influence rightward thinking incrementally.

But I'm not holding my breath...idealists are always full of indignations.

People like buzzyboop live some type of idealized fantasy world. The left has used incrementalism with devasting, incredible success for the last 100 years. But, buzzyboop types, rather than learning from success, still insist on "I WANT IT ALL, NOW". And that's why they are getting ZERO most of the time of keep getting outsmarted by the left.

offer a 50% chance of nothing.

No, in politics, it's usually a 95% chance of nothing.
