When I was younger I was turned off by what I perceived to be the Libertarian obsession with drug legalization.

Now I get it, but I’m sure I’m not the only person who got tired of them sounding like a broken record.

I would vote libertarian if I didn’t have to buy into their vision to eliminate “burdensome “ regulations like environmental protections and their pipe dream of free market healthcare.

Ah yes... Libertarian, the "I got mine, fuck the rest of you" party...

Isn’t that the “rule of law” conservatives? You know? The “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” people? Or is it not? Maybe political parties aren’t singular entities and are actually a collection of people. Of which there’s crazies in all of them.

Libertarians are by their core policy positions all about “I got mine, fuck the rest of you”. In the libertarian paradise, if you’re rich you’ll do fine, you’ll have your gated community and private security, but if you’re poor and starving, well, sucks to be you, you can starve to death.
