In what way are Libertarians an alternative to Democrats? Democrats want a strong social safety net and Libertarians want a government so small you could drown it in a bathtub.
You either know nothing about Libertarians or nothing about Democrats.
If you care about the cultural freedoms they're the same. Also the non intervention policies are a lot better than throwning all your money into the military industrial complex which you seem to call "Healthcare".
Else you got the Greens.
Unless of course you want everything the Democrats do including the genocide part. Then I can't help ya.
They're not even close to the same. I have never heard a libertarian say that taxes should be raised on the rich to pay for social services. Every libertarian I have ever talked to or read about is against all taxation and thinks everything should be privatized. They're as far apart politically as you can get.
As for healthcare, please do show me the libertarian that wants universal healthcare paid for by taxes.
I was looking through their comments to see if they were worth replying to, and this exchange here confirms it's absolutely not worth it. It's laughable how arrogant they are with how little they actually know about US politics.
