Reminds me of the old joke "what's the difference between libertarians and republicans? Libertarians know the legal age of consent in all 50 states"

This trope and this meme are lame and wrong. You people have a ridiculous idea about Libertarians that is nothing but plain prejudice.

I encourage anyone to prove me wrong by reading this Libertarian Party Platform document. Please point out anything about age of consent that is included in the Libertarian platform.

https://www.lp.org/platform/

Additionally, prove me wrong by showing any example of a Libertarian party member stating support for adults abusing children in the manner alluded to in this prejudiced meme / trope.

EDIT: Downvotes don't prove anything folks. I issued a challenge here - is nobody going to prove me wrong?

WHOOOOOOOOSH

Buddy, the definition of libertarian differs greatly from what your ilk discusses online.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Absolute bullshit. You are making up your own prejudiced definition, even after I provided a link to the party platform that LITERALLY defines the political stance.

In other words, you can't prove me wrong, so you move the goalposts.

Heh. Somebody got offended by a joke

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No I am offended by the prejudice behind the joke. It's as bad as Trumptards and Qanon morons calling Democrats pedos.

Probably not a great idea to alienate the Independent type voters ahead of important elections as well. Democrats / Leftists / whatever you are should be courting the votes of those who are not-Republicans rather than driving more division.

I can't imagine willingly telling people I was a libertarian in the internet.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Can you imagine being content in life and not caring what Internet nerds think about anything? No? Too bad for you. That's my reality.

Liberty is the most important value/concept to uphold in society and politics, therefore the Libertarian party is the best overall choice to support. Anyone who proposes to reduce liberty for the citizens of America automatically loses my support.

My ethics are clear and I'm proud of my voting record, no matter what you or anyone else thinks. Proudly supporting freedom should be applauded rather than mocked. So it's actually you who should be ashamed for attempting to suppress our freedom with your prejudiced garbage.
