Don't get caught up in trivial pursuits like selling off the national parks. LP prevails in many local races, but cannot overcome the duopoly's grip on the national scene. With the way the 2020 election was stolen so blatantly, it doesn't even matter.Except for your choice of vocabulary -- "traitors" -- I agree with you. We're stuck with a one-dimensional axis, when in fact we need half a dozen or more dimensions to properly characterize social/political reality. Not the mention the fact that it's always changing, in response to underlying changes in the economy, plus reactions to random events.
I love Libertarians, who are the Right with a human face. But I can't agree with their desire to auction off the National Parks. And their more consistent adherents believe we could get along without taxation, funding the state via voluntary contributions. (There used to be a slogan popular with Bay Area Lefties, "Wouldn't it be great if our schools had all the money they needed, and the Navy had to have a bake sale to buy a new carrier?" Consistent Libertarians would make both schools and the military support themselves through bake sales. Bless their hearts.)
Any politician that enabled or supports the Kangaroo Court headed by Liz Cheney is a traitor. Traitors are very common in the DC Swamp, among all 3 branches of the federal government.
