This is why Libertarians are suspicious of central power in the first place. The left treats it like a tool, and fully support central governments when their guy is in power. They don't seem to get your guy won't always be in power, and you'll be stuck with a Boris Johnson or Donald Trump.And all that power enjoyed by your side, is now THEIR power.
This is why Libertarians throw out the baby with the bath water, and prize a government that doesn't have the power to hurt anyone, even if it costs in power to help.
A good philosophy.
Well, when they can just rig elections practically in full view of everyone and get away with it like they did in 2020 election they actually can keep their side in power indefinitely. So hey, why not do it?
And if a state tries to put certain measures in place to help secure their elections better (*coughGeorgiacough*) well that's ok because the side that loves to cheat will just sue them for supposedly "suppressing votes" or whatever bullshit lame excuse they use.

Depends on the Libertarian. Small government, low/no taxes, no affirmative action laws, all drugs legal, these would be considered right wing in the US.
Yeah, pretty much. Though I don't think all drugs should be legal.
Both Rand Paul and his father are clearly right wing libertarians. In fact, I don't know of any actual left wing liberertarians. True libertarianism seems to be right wing to me.
But you know how some leftists are, they'll argue that shit doesn't stink lol.

The weird irony is libertarianism and democracy are both left wing philosophies.
LOL. Even if what you said were true (which it isn't) democracy sucks ass. The United States is a republic. Our founders made sure of that because they knew how democracy sucked as a government type.
And calling libetarianism left wing is even more retarded lol.
As I've said before, sometimes I think people like you just say stupud shit to troll.
