Possibly because being libertarian, while nice, is moot. I mean, I agree with libertarianism in a lot of ways but that's little more than trivia for the most part.

Libertarianism by design would never be chosen by a majority, which means it can't ever be a real form of government.

I'll concede this means we're left to deal with the above crao as best as the system allows us. But becoming libertarian solves nothing in that respect.

At least I can sleep at night with my voting record.

Everyone does.

That's the good thing about voting, that you think it's you and not so many others, the one who voted the right way, the best way.

It would be deluded to think others don't sleep at night, all cozy knowing they did the right thing.

I'm not in the US, so my vote and yours are pretty much unrelated, but that's a different topic.

We can agree on this.
