Well to be fair the left in the usa does have another reason to see the libertarian party as just another right wing party. They vote republican when it comes down to D vs R

I've never voted for a Republican OR Democrat that I didn't know personally in my entire life. Why do I add that qualifier? Because I did know some older small town politicians, in both US parties, back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when my grandfather was still alive, and they were his friends.

So you just don't vote for most offices then?

No. Voting for the lesser of two evil is still voting for evil. I'll write someone in before I vote for some party functionary that only cares about their own political power.

So functionally, you abstain from voting and dont express a preference about how you are goverened.
