How will libertarians vote in 2024?

Vivek Ramaswamy earned support from some online libertarians. Now that he's out of the GOP presidential race, where will his supporters turn?

    I have been voting libertarian since 2000. I'll be voting for trump this time around if he's on the ballet. I liked how he decreased us military involvement overseas. I'm sick of war. We're back already and it's nuts. While Trump isn't perfect by any means. His spending is out of control. The tariffs was lame. While I'd like to get fix the immigration crisis by eliminating government provided benefits... For now his approach is practical. From the beginning I actually supported the bump stock ban. It was just so flagrantly unconstitutional I knew it'd end up in the supreme court. I think trump is a step forward. If Haley is the nom I might actually go black pilled and vote for Biden. I was terrified of a 2nd Obama term and voted against Romney because he was a charlatan and the gop party tactics. If it's desantis I'm voting libertarian.

Because lets take Biden, lets just say the average Libertarian agreed with Biden 5-10% of the time... then along comes Vivek, and lets say those same Libertarian's agree with Vivek only 85-90% of the time... You know what Libertarians do???? Well, they do what you just did... That's the problem with libertarian, you're the problem with libertarians. Vivek: - Get the US out of policing the world - Get Government out of Education - Stop subsidies -75 reduction in Government employee head count - No Government take over of digital currency - End the Fed List goes on... You??? Wahh wahh waaaah, but he's not libertarian, Vivek wants to hold Mexico accountable for trafficking massive amounts of an incredibly addictive drug that kills X number of people a year here in the US... If you talked to 100 libertarian long enough you would all disagree, walk away from one another, call each other an authoritarian communist and then wonder why the LP can't get a candidate on the fuckin ballot. I'm not being aggressive, I'm not trying to be rude... what I'm doing is giving the useless LP minded people a rude awakening about how full of shit they are. We're the group that understand human nature yet we can't get anyone elected to do anything... because we can't agree that 80+ % agreement on all the issues is a fucking win.

Maybe he could help reform and restore trust in the CDC and the public health system, but I'm not feeling that optimistic this year. I think Green party leans too far into culture war and climate hysteria. Cornel West seems like a decent enough guy and mostly reasonable, but I disagree with a lot of his takes especially regarding reparations, and he shot himself in both feet by losing ballot access anyway. Probably just vote Libertarian again. If Trump wins, I'll live with it. Trump and Biden are both terrible, but Biden now has cemented a record of corruption with controlling information and free speech combined with a complete failure to recognize mistakes in the pandemic response and multiple wars, along with the physical and mental condition of a cadaver approximately 3 months before death. If Democrats were serious about Trump ending democracy and the universe, they would have allowed actual freaking primaries and debates and picked a candidate superior to a jarred pickle.

I was excited about him at first but since then I've done my research and been very disappoint about some of his positions and he he's greatly misinformed and misguided on many issues including Russia and Ukraine. He's still probably the best choice. I've been aware of the nightmare that the LP and Mises all is, might still throw my vote on that steaming pile too, who knows? Whoever is polling better I guess.
