this is a good question. I've always wondered why libertarianism wasn't more popular. Democrats wants freedom in personal lives. and Rebuplicans favor free business. Libertarianism combines both of those nicely.
- cc81 7y agoWhen I debate libertarians I've always felt that it has never been really realistic and I think a lot of people feel that way. I'm not American but as far as I understand Democrats type of freedom is very different from libertarians.
- egypturnash 7y agoI have observed a strong comorbidity between “describing oneself as a Libertarian” and “being kind of a jerk who refuses to believe that any of their ability to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps comes from their unacknowledged privilege”. Perhaps this is why it is not popular.
