| Subject: Anarcho-Capitalist NEWS: Libertarian Party fights for viability in increasingly divided nation Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:24 pm | |
| The Libertarian Party is working to become viable in Iowa.
This comes after the last presidential election cycle. Libertarian Gary Johnson earned nearly 4.5 million votes in 2016.
Since then, the Libertarian Party has seen a rise in popularity in Iowa. Though analysts say it's difficult for the party to gain traction nationally.
Cornell College political science professor Megan Goldberg says the country's political system keeps the Democratic and Republican parties strong, especially when it comes to the Electoral College.
"The structural organization of the US makes it really hard for a third party to ever actually gain any traction," Goldberg said.
While we probably wouldn't see Libertarians become a viable third party, they can change the dynamics of the two parties that already exist.
