A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing
Some Libertarians scoff at NH libertarians getting elected as Republican, and showing no respect whatsoever for the Libertarian Party. What they fail to grasp is that if the Libertarian Party ever managed to gain any meaningful electoral traction, at the very next election it would be conquered from within by power-hungry LINO rejects of other parties assaulting primaries with so far unprecedented money and influence to vie for the least gleam of power.
To some extent, this has already happened, just with incompetent losers incapable of conquering either serious party and instead going for scraps: see ex-governors previously fielded as presidential candidates; and then again see the fights between the not-even-governors—so vicious and bitter because the stakes are so low (a.k.a. Sayre's Law). This is also how the Movimiento Libertario in Costa Rica had one brief electoral success as an actual libertarian party before being conquered by opportunists, becoming libertarian no more, and quickly falling back into irrelevance, indeed going bankrupt after the opportunists gutted it and spent all the money they could. And that's not even a "wrong" thing capable of being "fixed"—that's just the reality of political incentives, that must be accommodated.
Democrats understand it, and xir Establishment dealt with it by completely rooting any non-decorative democracy out of xir party: xir primaries are fake, all apparent grassroot is actually astroturf, all decisions come from above. Remarkably xey have nothing against power-hungry conquering tyrants, quite the contrary; it's just that xey each protect xir share of Pawa from being conquered by others; which is actually why the incentives are individually aligned to make xem act so efficiently and rationally about it, even when xir pathology can make xem irrational and inefficient about most everything else. (Xey psychopathic lixards don't deserve being graced with human pronouns.)
Libertarians here, and non-communist former Democrats there, conquering the empty shell of the failed Republican Party—is thus par for the course. Kill the beast and wear its skin proudly!
In other words, don't spew opinions about political strategy if you don't make the minimal effort towards understanding how politics work. Aren't libertarians supposed to grok the concept of incentives?
