@Schedrevka "Extreme authoritarian centrists"?

Not only that but being pro US constitution is at odds with pro monarchy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_centrism
Radical centrism is an actual ideology. You don't get to just choose what you want it to mean.

Oh jeeze, that has a definition?

shit.

I'm going to have to read that. and also stop calling myself a 'militant radical centrist' as a joke.

@Schedrevka Thanks, I never knew

neat

So, uh... I don't consider the Libertarian Party very right wing. Is that just me...?

I see them as more right than left.

Between centrist and conservative.

Like, I don't identify with them on most things.

It also seems extremely incohesive and cultish

at the same time...

I'm a libertarian conservative.

I get this sense that, only considering platform, it would be a lot easier to get the Republican Party to the libertarian stances it needs than it would be to get the Libertarian party to not be cultish.

When you consider that the Republican Party also gets the votes, the Libertarian party seems pointless.

Pointless at best, and Gary Johnson was actually fucking Open Borders at worst.

a bunch of them are AnCaps

everyone are typing.

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

say something else, everyone

lol

real quick just type a bit

ahh, only when multiple people were typinh.

But yea so most Libertarians in the US are like weird pseudo-republicans or AnCaps

Independents are more likely to have centrists/moderates

although Libertarians are at least more organized

Independents often run as individuals

Libertarians suffer strongly from being a small 3rd party that's stuck in silly purity spirals.

yep

I would call myself a libertarian, just not a party libertarian

They *had* a chance for a breakout in NM this cycle. But the Republicans are too arrogant to let them take the chance.

It's a real disappointment.

when Tim says big L he means the party

Yup

I often have to explain to people that not all Libertarians are libertarian

yep

Kinda like how you have RINOs

I was personally hoping the Libertarians took a senate seat under Johnson. But it looks like their splitting the vote with the REpublicans.
