Like I've said before, it's too bad the Tea Party got assassinated in the grave. They had a good head of steam going, but people now know 3rd parties will never be allowed to upset the good thing the two big parties have going. The media wings will ensure that.

This is part of why public entities on the left have painted Libertarians as "batshit insane Republicans". Got to brainwash the flock so they don't go listening to other ideas and opinions.

When people ask me why I quit being a Libertarian, I say "Because I met too many other Libertarians."

The problem is that you don't volunteer for it. Either way it's being forced on you, if you lack systemic power.
