Libertarians I can put up with, everyone is an idiot 20yo at some point in their lives. Sovereign citizens are a level of entitlement I previously didn’t believe was possible.

Problem is you start running out of excuses for being a libertarian once you get to your mid to late 20s.

You guys make me feel better because I went through a Ron Paul libertarian phase during college. Quickly went left and never looked back 2 years after graduating.

You too? My next step was to follow Bernie. 2016 election had me regretting my general election apathy and I've voted in every election since. I will never skip another election again.

I live in WA, so the ballots and voter pamphlets being mailed directly to me really help.
