Here is the difference between the two from my point of view..
The left acknowledges there is a problem, but a chunk of the time enough of the democrats are being paid off so nothing gets done about it..
Examples : war on drugs, police shootings, lobbiests, the environment exc, exc, exc..
The right intentionally obfuscates the issue with propaganda and pretends like that issue is a good thing.. the bad things are literally part of their party platform as a good thing..
For example they are the only ones still openly supporting the war on drugs, Private prisons, lobbiests, climate change denial, police shootings exc..
It is a choice between dealing with corruption or willful ignorance..

Given that 19X more people are murdered by handguns than rifles/(according to the FBI) it shows how stupid and incompetent the left's fight for banning assault rifles is.
If any of you had a clue or actually cared, your focus would be inner city handguns.

Liberals hate libertarians because the libertarian platform doesn't allow room in it to pander to, via unequal protection under the law, wealth redistribution, or artificially generated restrictions on some to penalize success, Kept Voters. Without these Kept Voter programs, Democrats would quickly lose their minority voter bases. That's a simple fact... they depend entirely on victimhood and feelings of guilt to keep receiving votes, and neither is a policy libertarians suffer easily.
Centrists and Libertarians are on the rise as people look for alternatives
We need a centrist party, but no libertarians as today libertarians are simply Republicans that aren't on the far right in religion, war and gay rights, but still horrible for quality of life for regular people.
