I think too many people equate libertarians (actually the classic liberals) with the Libertarian Party. There is a huge difference. It’s why you often see folks pointing out the small vs capital L when identifying as libertarian.
The LP is full of nut jobs and for 3/4 of them the only political problem they want to solve is the legalization of weed. The libertarians who don’t identify with the party tend to be pragmatists with a preference to try maximize personal liberty as much as possible, but realize that the maximum may not be obtainable due to the nature of managing a diverse society.
