Similar with many (not all!) libertarians.

Funny how they're always espousing Republicans as the way to go. Once upon a time, that may have made (some) sense, but the modern Republican party is ... "not very close" ... to libertarianism.

If agents of the state expend most of their of their energy fighting against each other, they will have little time left to spend on attacking the people.

Therefore in a two party rule, libertarians should do what they can to pit one arm of the government against the other. Sometimes this will mean voting D, and sometimes R, whichever better disrupts single party rule.

They "should", but somehow they always seem to find themselves voting R...
