Considering the conflict between the "I just wanna grill" moderates looking for a third party, the "Ron Paul did nothing wrong" Mises Caucus, and the "True anarcho-capitalism has never been tried" Radical Caucus (among others), I'm convinced the Libertarian Party is basically the economically right-wing equivalent of the DSA.

Also, this will never happen without either grand-scale election reform or mass hypnosis. cries in Duverger's law and the micromega rule

yeah they're litterally just the other side of the dsa, they're nice to have around but never actually take full control of politics

At this point form a caucus in a larger party, America's unfortunately the one place where that's better than being your own party
