      I am pro gun and pro choice. I agree it is hard to pick a candidate. Where are the anarchist candidates?

      Not American Libertarian. The trust of corporations to not be a government with more steps is nonsense. Giving Disney a monopoly on violence is a bad idea.

          I’d like to call myself a libertarian, but unfortunately the modern libertarian movement has kind of ruined the word.

    We need voting reform to help fix our broken two party system.

    We should outlaw all form of bribery (lobying), and we desperately need ranked choice voting or approval voting to make third party candidates viable, and to reduce the political extremism.

    It would also help if we had journalism reform, because there is a lot of bullshit “journalism” being peddled around these days. Looking at you CNN, Fox News, MSNCBC, Breitbart, etc.

    I think this is actually a really interesting article. Breaking down the overly simplistic 2 party system we have would be a great thing. There is more that can be broken down that even this survey indicates, but it’s still interesting and helpful.

      We tend to forget that other people’s ideologies can’t be boiled down to left or right, so we get the “conservative = bad” or “liberal = bad” mentality. Which is unproductive and only increases the radicalism that most people of most ideologies hate.
