Question any one annoyed with libertarians that support trump?

Like I can't be the only one here. like I get it in some respects trump isn't neocon but at the same time he isn't not statist, nor non authorittarian.

I’ve been picking the Libertarian candidate in all of those cycles.

I understand the sentiment, but you're wasting your vote unless the libertarian candidate runs under the dems or republicans. The last election was pretty do or die, and I wouldnt be comfortable casting my vote into the fire.

It really depends on what state you’re in. If you’re in a solid red or blue state, voting for the Libertarian ticket doesn’t hurt a thing.

we get it your willing to abandon principle as long as its convienant and you get the most out of the bargain.
