Their branding is all about being the protectors of individual freedom. Sure, they want government power concentrated toward the local end of the spectrum, but they also—say—they want less government power in general.
- commoner 5y agoIndividual freedom is championed more by libertarians than by Republicans as a whole, especially on matters such as policing, criminal justice, recreational drugs, immigration, and LGBT issues. The Libertarian Party does not have a strong presence in the two-party dominated U.S., so many libertarians in the U.S. subscribe to a major party (Republican or Democratic) that emphasizes the libertarian positions they are most interested in, at the cost of opposing other libertarian positions they consider a lower priority. Far from ideal, but some believe it is the best option in the short term until this two-party system evolves into something better.
