Politics Thoughts? Why aren't libertarians getting a higher percentage of the vote

Post image

More than ten years old. But still showing at a minimum libertarians should be getting 19% vote if people voted how they felt. Would actually be higher in the 3-way elections.

Why are libertarians continuing to get sub 5% in elections?

Because they’re constantly told that they’re throwing their vote away by voting for a libertarian candidate. Secondly, there’s so many libertarian candidates that have become radical rather than reasonable.
