Libertarians give people who would vote for Repiblicans someone to vote for when the Republicans go too far with abortion and other fascist stuff so they don’r vote Dem instead.
So less peeling off Dem supporters and instead keeping from trading votes to Dems.
My personal theory is that the GOP will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarians if the ever become too unpopular.
Also, they don’t drain off support, because the Libertarians almost always vote R when it counts. You notice that Green Party Jill was active this cycle and you didn’t hear about the Libertarians once.
You didn’t hear about the Libertarians because they basically did get taken over by MAGA. They’re know as the Misus Caucus and they’re brutal, doing damage control on the Libertarian Party as a whole. They shut the primary elected candidate out and gave him little to no resources or even publicity.
Libertarians do drain off support. Libertarians are likely one of the reasons Trump lost so many swing states, because they pretty much had a great candidate and huge turnout. Nearly two million votes compared to Green Party’s Howie Hawkins, who I met, and voted for in 2020. Howie received 404,000 votes.
I voted Harris this year, and volunteered for the WFP.
Jill Stein is deceitful pos and she’s the reason I left the Green Party.
Libertarians don’t “drain off D support” They drain off Republican support.

I like the Libertarian classic novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.”
On the other hand, I can spned three hours pointing out all the ways the author had to massage reality to make his society work.
