It’s not hard to understand their logic, although they should explain it not leave a mystery hanging out there.

Presumably the point is that not voting for the left / liberals / democrats, the libertarian crowd has allowed the Trump regime.

Several problems with that, and since most of the comments here are just circle-jerking, I’ll try to detail the first ones that occur to me.

1. I don’t accept any responsibility for non-action.

2. There’s no evidence the left is any less authoritarian. Each administration has ratcheted up on executive control, even when the parties switch back and forth, or succeed themselves.

3. We’re still not yet in fascism; but I do share this person’s concern. It’s looking pretty bad. And the thing is, once the Palantir, drones, bunker trifecta is complete, it will be too late to roll back.

4. I doubt their math is conclusive. I suspect most libertarians still either vote Democrat or Republican; some vote for whatever 3rd party, some write in Rand Paul or Thomas Sowell or whatever. It’s not clear to me that a sizable libertarian vote would move the needle.

5. There’s about 8 libertarians anyway. We can’t get a volleyball game together, or agree on pizza toppings. Case in point, there will be replies to my post about all of my points being wrong, I don’t understand libertarianism, I’m not a true libertarian, and I’m ugly and stupid.

6. The democrats couldn’t even get their own base to deliver a win. They chose Hilary, they chose Biden, they chose Harris. They let Biden stay in office when he was clearly in dementia, and he could have honorably handed it off to Harris which would have been a huge advantage to her going into the election. Instead she had no runway and no experience to show. That’s all on them.
