[@Dynamo Frokane] No joke, For some reasons I read that as librarians. <.< And don't worry even though I'd consider myself as one, since it technically varies vastly politically (and only really means your anti-authoritarian.) and it seems to a be the new popular thing to be on the Internets. They sort of are the new internet term for "independent" or "moderate" aren't they? I'd think to think we are the 'we give an actual shit about politics' version of those words though. :P

Libertarianism really picked up during the later Bush years, when you had a lot of people (particularly young people) growing disenchanted with their parents conservatism. In theory, it's the economic ideas of conservatives without any of the Neocon or bible belt extras. So if you're talking about social issues of geopolitics, they might seem moderate, but when it comes to economics, they tend to go quite bit further than conservatives. I was into it a few years when I was a freshman in college (because there is no belief better suited for freshmen), and I got out of it when I went down into the rabbit hole and started reading about things like road privatization.

But I suppose it serves as a good explanation for my hatred of this year's candidates.

The reason for a libertarian to support Sanders would be rather simple; campaign finance reform. You want people like Rand Paul to have a shot at this thing? That's the only way it happens.
