      LOL. I've been engaged with / aware of libertarian politics for 30 years now, and this is the same counterfactual nonsense earnest kids said in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992 ... Face it: libertarianism may be right and moral, but people want to be ruled & shepherdedhttps://twitter.com/JulieBorowski/status/1296843044650655745 …

      I believe 5% of the popular vote is reachable. As long as they can keep the Libertarian base and get some of the disaffected right- so don't scare them off ;)

      2/ that's part of it ... but don't overlook the idea that people themselves want low variance, safety , security ...and, more than that, the THEATER and psychological comfort that comes from thinking (even falsely) that someone is watching out for youhttps://twitter.com/randolphbeck/status/1296932094720049154 …

      3/ Huge # of people fear the idea of having to take control of their own children's education, fear the idea of saving for their own retirements, fear the idea of a culture where people can rise or fall arbitrarily far. The idea that there's no "mom" or "dad" scares & offends

      "Don't hurt people and don't take their stuff!" is not a winning argument when people actually quite enjoy hurting one another and have no problems taking other people's stuff.

      There's plenty that libertarians do to foot-canon themselves. I tend to attribute a lot of our failures to that. Like, if Gary had 1) shown up, 2) taken interviews seriously, 3) not been stoned, and 4) not had a VP pick that had gone turncoat, he would have done much better.

          6/ Indeed. Libertarianism is a perfectly valid governing philosophy that could do well in a town populated by SlateStarCodex readers and HUN attendees. The other 330 million Americans want welfare, circuses, wars, and crucifixions. https://twitter.com/MMdigg13/status/1296937191986397190 …

          8/ I agree with all of this up until the "unless". Power consolidates. Do you think that by establishing a government that bubbles Clintons and Bidens to the top we've solved the "problem" of power consolidating? 🤔 https://twitter.com/trailer_parker/status/1296940918298357762 …

          I'm not sure most people are socialists. Or more importantly understand socialism enough to claim the title. Maybe 30+%. Do you see right leaning politics as one of rearward retreat while population centers render electoral viability off the table for us? Just curious here.

          You're right on the overall: Libertarian is never going to be a mainstream approach. But if there's anything that marketing teaches us, it's that a good wrapper can do a lot to make up for an unappetizing product.

          If this is the case, we're already utterly, completely, and irrevocably doomed. Which is not to say that you're wrong.
