Because the Republican and Democrat party are one party. They have found a way to dominate the political debate in this country. They do that by playing the game. The game is if you don't vote for X then you will be stuck with Y. And then if X or Y gets in office they do the exact same thing that they other would have done.

Well that is how it used to be played until Obama got those infernal vote rigging machines in America. That was the beginning of the end. That was the true end of democracy.

AND the Libertarian message doesn’t resonate with people.

It does not resonate with Marxists because it is more freedom based than conservatives. Conservatives don't pay that much attention to them even though I would think most conservatives have more in common with the Libertarians than the Republicans.

I am not a Libertarian because I do not think drugs or prostitution should be legalized. I am a Constitutionalist. If it wasn't for the legalization of drugs and prostitution I would be a Libertarian.

Marxists do believe in personal freedom, I think there is just a difference in believing what economic freedom means, for those on the left, we believe in voluntary and agreeable work and democracy in the workplace, for those on the right, it is business owners being able to do whatever they want.

Your voluntary and agreeable work is collectivism. Collectivism is promised as voluntary but when production declines the voluntary goes out the window. Collective freedom is not individual liberty.

In a privately owned business if production goes down they ask you to work more hours. If that bothers you then you can negotiate or quit. When it is the collective then you will work more hours and if you don't like it then there is nowhere else to go because the government owns everything. So it is work or starve.
