    Libertarians often mistake deregulation for freedom. However, I kind of like being able to buy food without worrying about deadly pathogens.

    I’m still waiting for any libertarian to go ahead and tell me how deregulating the sewers is gonna work out for everyones best interests.

    Anyday now, I’m sure. I’ve been asking this since 1996, I’m sure they’ll get back to me soon.

    Umm, “biggest ever” meaning mayor of Wichita, population 400,000. Biggest ever, since formation in 1971. “Since its creation, 10 Libertarians have been elected to state legislatures. The most recent candidate was Marshall A. Burt, who represented Wyoming’s 39th district from 2021 to 2023.” A total of 10, since 1971, sounds like they are really on the move. /s

      Yeah you’re not wrong. But as the most promising option to break the two party system, I can’t help but root for them.

      It is wild seeing them talk internally about how much they’re growing and such though. Lol, they seem to think they’re gonna follow the analogy of the algae in the pond.
