Something that surprised me over the last week:
Both Democrats who are disenchanted with their party and Republicans who are disenchanted with their party are almost always looking for what the Libertarian party is full of: fiscal conservatives who want the government to stay out of social issues.
I think if people were honest with themselves, we would have 3 strong parties in this country. Unfortunately, so few people are brave enough to depart from their safety net.
Libertarians get dismissed because some of their big positions don't seem feasible or pragmatic, like eliminating the IRS. I'm not arguing for or against the outcome, per se, it's the implementation that doesn't seem feasible to me.
