I am just curious. Why can libertarian wins in governatorial election but not on presidential election?
That being said, I understand pure libertarian-ism is not going to win in democracy. If 1% earn so much and the other 99% earns so little, it's simply common sense for the majority wanting a piece.
Think about it. If you own a stock in a company and the company get rich, you too get profit right? The same way if you own a citizen ship in a country you sort of get a piece.
Republican parties and libertarianism have tried to "sell" the same thing for too long. Guess what? Prices changes.
500 years ago, most people want to hang pickpockets. As prosperity grows, the value of money relative to live drops. So we don't hang pickpockets anymore.
Without robots, slaves are important. As so many time saving technologies show up, not only slavery becomes unpopular, soon, we'll be paying those slaves for doing nothing as Elon Musk said.

So yea, as we get more and more prosperous, pure libertarianism, where 10% will starve to death will simply don't sell. Too many voters fear that it may happen to them they won't do it.
But libertarianism with a bit of appeasement for those losers can win. The way Trump do it is by protectionism, which is implicit welfare for middle class. The way Obama did it is with real welfare. I think one day Elon Musk idea will get some traction.
In any case, good luck. Whichever you choose, remember, you'll be rich and poor because of you.
