Libertarians would have been better to skip a nominee and instead just endorse Trump.

Trump isn't a Libertarian. He is not shy about spending, is NOT a free-trade-above-all junkie, and isn't reflexively against an activist federal government.

He is fighting the Deep State, not thrilled with new military entanglements and not eager for wars, and isn't interested in using the government to enforce Woke ideology.

But that isn't sufficient for most Libertarians.

Well, the bright side is this.

He will draw NO votes from Trump.

As a gay, open borders candiadte, he will draw SOME votes from Biden.

Most libertarians are morons, as shown by their choice of nominee.

The Deep State IS the activist, mostly unconstitutional federal government.

Libertarians, for the most part, have no sense of practical politics. They don't understand the concept of moving the ball in a pro-liberty direction. They want it all now.

I'm a senior. I've seen a lot. I was in college (Hillsdale when President Ford re-legalized gold. My libertarian friends were angry.

They wanted the ability to buy, sell, and make contracts in gold. Well, they got the first two and were fuming that they didn't get the third.

I told them keep working for it, but you got two of the three things. They pretty much dismissed that.

This gives you some sense of the hardcore libertarians' view of the practicalities of moving teh window closer and closer to your goal.

I've never been a full-out libertarian, though I agree with them on a number of things. The Mises Caucus has done a lot of good in moving the LP in a more reasonable direction, away from Crazyland. With one vote last night, the LP undid a lot of that.
