Libertarian in the US party sense is "Libertarian-Right" whereas Conservatives in America are "Authoritarian-Right."

Authoritarian-Left and Libertarian-Left essentially share a party in the US with varying degrees of "it's not left enough" based on their personal feelings toward capitalism/socialism and how much social control the government should apply to make people conform.

Essentially, do you want a nanny state that requires everyone to tow whatever party line and makes all business grossly inefficient as well as corrupt? Or just a government that primarily serves the working class instead of having their hands tied by the owner class through bribes, superPACs, and lobbying in general?
