Yeah ... I know someone else already said this but you're absolutely not a Libertarian. So, good news, you can throw that box out and realign your language.

Also, I get that it's a talking point but I think everyone believes in a fiscally responsible government. It's just some weird right wing double think trick people say to imply the other side does not want that when in reality the Dems (if we're framing this through an American lens) want fiscal responsibility just as much as any other party or persons.

You don't know anything about me other than the fact that I support two social programs. Who are you to say who or what I am?

Yes, those programs are absolutely not something that the Libertarian party would ever endorse. That doesn't mean I don't have the same belief in smaller government, states rights, and fiscal responsibility. I belong to the Libertarian party, that doesn't mean I have to BE the Libertarian party.

Ok ... So you're mad I said you're not a Libertarian and now you're just explaining how you're not a Libertarian?

Truthfully, it really doesn't matter what you think of me or my views. My whole point is that the lines between parties is not nearly as cut and dry as people seem to believe.

Just because someone is pro-choice doesn't mean they aren't a Republican. If they believe in universal healthcare, it doesn't make them a Democrat.

Thanks for the conversation.
