      Of course, the independent centrists who have no party affiliation are not included in your analysis of this issue, and they far outnumber Libertarian Party voters.

      And those swing voters are a much more powerful voting force than the 3.57% of LP Michigan voters you cite as evidence of your hypothesis.

      I think this goes beyond the impact of third parties. The American right has always tried to dress up its freedom-hating as freedom-loving. Libertarians are no different, just slightly hipper. So when conservatives need a facelift, they claim to be libertarians. It’s cosmetic.

      Current crew running Libertarian party includes neo-confederates, so the freedom Black people not to be enslaved.

      I was not talking about the Libertarian party due to the fact that the previous comment was referring to "libertarians," who are not for enslaving black people. Doubt the Libertarian party is either, but I'll look for it on their platforms.

      Murray Rothbard argued parents have the right to starve children to death. So if you believe children are human, that's an infringement of their freedom.pic.twitter.com/8JYdJcxdTZ

      That would indeed be an infringement, but it's certainly far from the core of modern libertarian discourse.

      The Libertarian Party is now a home for @RonPaul supporters. We welcome you with open arms. We represent the tradition of Mises and Rothbard and are eternally grateful to @lewrockwell @jeffdeist and everyone at @mises for keeping their legacy alive.

      Once again you overestimate the electoral power of the Libertarian party by not mentioning the much greater power of centrist swing voters who are often not affiliated with any official political party

      Those centrist swing voters are not, the vast majority of them, libertarians.

          Totally agree but they are more powerful than the Libertarian party, which is the topic that began this thread. In other words they control close elections much more than the Libertarian Party does.

          The question you asked was "What freedoms do libertarians hate?" I gave an example (the freedom of a baby not to starve to death) from a very prominent libertarian celebrated by LP. So it's weird to switch to broader centrist voters. It's a deliberate derailment of the question.

          Going to have to push back a little on this one. I think centrists and libertarians are more similar than different. Guns and propriety seem to be the only big differences. Otherwise, there's a lot of overlap. https://conservatismisun-american.blogspot.com/2017/12/fellow-travelers.html …

          And there's also the difference in that libertarians support the right of parents to starve their children while also supporting the enslavement of black people,right? Very few centrists embrace those ideas, at least from my perch.
