The big error of the libertarian party is that, instead of promoting civility, they embrace degeneracy. I have spent a lot of time working with the Libertarian party here in Texas, but have moved more to the republicans, because of the clear degeneracy in every level of libertarian leadership. They embrace people from all walks of life, and that is great, but I don't want a satanist as a precinct chair thank you very much. While the Republicans do a piss poor job promoting liberty at a national scale, getting involved in local elections can change the party in big ways. Almost all of the republican precinct chairs, and board members in Houston, are libertarians that hate the libertarian party, and have adjusted to the party that generally shares their values, that actually has a platform.
