    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.

            That’s not the analogy. The proper analogy is that you insert the Linux install disk, and someone else chooses if it installs Windows or Mac. There is no way for Linux to be installed. To get Linux, you need to change the system first.
