Libertarian-Democrat

A believer in a political doctrine that emphasizes individual liberty and a lack of governmental regulation, intervention, and oversight both in matters of the economy whilst being an advocate of democratic politics.
The libertarian-democrat advocated for universal healthcare via voluntary means. They believed healthcare shouldn't be regulated by the government. They also suggested that government should fundraise to underwrite healthcare plans for those who couldn't afford them in the interim as prices of healthcare plans dropped (thanks to competition) & the diversity of options (thanks to the paucity of support from the government of the medical-industrial complex and thanks to competition) increased.

John is a libertarian. He has a ponytail, likes marijuana, and doesn't hate gay people, but otherwise, he is indistinguishable from a Republican.

Libertarians

Believe in the smallest amount of government with the maximum amount of freedom. Support freemarkets. Believe in the non aggression principal. Anti-war, anti corporate subsidies and bailouts, anti big-government, anti government run schools, pro legalizing drugs, pro constitution, pro bill of rights, pro LGBTQ rights. The people that figured out the other parties use the government to steal from them and support corporate owners.
The founding fathers are the most well known classical liberal libertarians.

Libertarian

1.) very misunderstood group of individuals
2.) The true political party of America
3.) polar opposite is the Independent party
4.) Not heartless individuals we just have a "can do" attitude and we are not here to "save the world".
5.) instead of outright banning things, we realize vices are not going anywhere and we are just going regulate how they are used.
6.) not right or left and not the republican party.

In short, todays libertarian party desire is for an America that is not plagued by social issues. such as gun control, gender identity, rent control, income equality, substance abuse, government over reach such as pandemic response, and closing the national parks during a government shut down. Specific government agencies we would like to see dismantled are the ATF, DEA and FEMA. We believe that the states should have more local authority and should have more resources so the federal government will not unless absolutely necessary have to step in.

Many people feel libertarians want chaos when simply that is not the case. We wont completely dismantle the government and social programs we just don't want the needs of the very few to complicate society.
Democrat: I want people to be able to have abortions
Republican: I want abortions to illegal
Libertarian: how bout, it's none of our business who gets an abortion, and we should leave roe vs wade alone and be on our way. This is necessary ignorance!

Democrat: I want gay marriage legal
Republican: No god will hate us all
Libertarian: how about, we will give same-sex marriages equal rights we will just call it something else?
