I used to be a card-carrying LP member and believed in the LP’s ability to build a movement from the 2016 election success and general disgust with the two parties. They have instead chosen to appeal to Anarcho-Capitalist hardliners and attack groups and ideas that most people (even many LP members) agree with. If party politics is your thing, the GOP, as much as many do not want to believe it, is a superior vehicle to the LP for promoting liberty.
