You do know that...right?
A substantial bloc of those who vote Liberturdian crowd are simply ornery cusses who vote that way to "send a message" that they don't like the two big parties. They don't care about issue, only about sticking it to "The Man."
A shocking percentage vote Liberturdian for one reason only: Because the Liberturdians often support legalizing marijuana. These voters also don't care about the party's longtime support for laissez-faire economics, or their isolationist foreign policy. They want legal pot.
That's it.
It's the rare person who votes that way because they actually buy the Liberturdian nonsense. The people who do buy it already have a party that has enough power to make a go of making those economic and foreign policies real, and the letter next to their names on a ballot is (R).
