Libertarians will never win elections until they: 1. Start running credible candidates who understand marketing, public relations, and true political campaigning. 2. Stop playing the "libertarian-purity card" that alienates potential voters.
That means you not only need competition in the marketplace, but you have to be able to say “no” to *all* of the options and leave the marketplace. If you can’t leave, you’re a captive market, not a free market. 2/

“Free market” as used by right-wing Libertarians actually means “laissez-faire” capitalism. They aren’t the same things. If you’re diagnosed with cancer, and the hospital says “that’ll be $500,000 or you die” you’re a captive market. And that is theft. 3/

It’s no different than being at the ATM and someone putting a gun in your back “give me all your money.” It’s a threat of death. It’s not a *voluntary* exchange. Which is why I said Libertarians tend not to understand economics. 4/4
