  Yeah … I know someone else already said this but you’re absolutely not a Libertarian. So, good news, you can throw that box out and realign your language.

  Also, I get that it’s a talking point but I think everyone believes in a fiscally responsible government. It’s just some weird right wing double think trick people say to imply the other side does not want that when in reality the Dems (if we’re framing this through an American lens) want fiscal responsibility just as much as any other party or persons.

    You don’t know anything about me other than the fact that I support two social programs. Who are you to say who or what I am?

    Yes, those programs are absolutely not something that the Libertarian party would ever endorse. That doesn’t mean I don’t have the same belief in smaller government, states rights, and fiscal responsibility. I belong to the Libertarian party, that doesn’t mean I have to BE the Libertarian party.

      Ok … So you’re mad I said you’re not a Libertarian and now you’re just explaining how you’re not a Libertarian?

        Truthfully, it really doesn’t matter what you think of me or my views. My whole point is that the lines between parties is not nearly as cut and dry as people seem to believe.

        Just because someone is pro-choice doesn’t mean they aren’t a Republican. If they believe in universal healthcare, it doesn’t make them a Democrat.

        Thanks for the conversation.

  While it is possible to self-identify as a libertarian and hold those beliefs, you have to understand that it disagrees with the general concepts of libertarianism as understood by other people.

  To put it another way, you sound a little bit like a vegan eating tuna.

    Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to agree with every single guiding principle of a party to be a part of it. Most of the country isn’t on the left or the right.

    Most of us are in the middle and only vote for one party or another out of FUD. I am done with that shit. I vote for the person I think is best for the job.

      If it’s not one of the two major parties, then your vote supports the person you hate most.

      You can hate the system all you like, but this is just math.

        And that, my friend is the problem… It’s like trying to choose between windows and Mac os… Sometimes the best thing you can do is install Linux.
