Really? What % does the Libertarian party even get in local CA elections? Do they even have ballot access in CA at all? At this point, I think the most libertarian state is probably New Hampshire, while Kentucky libertarians have the most sway in local elections.
Maybe in private, a lot of silicon valley types are libertarian, but they sure do not vote that way outside of maybe gay rights and drug legalization, which are closely aligned libertarian issues with the Democrats. Progressives have completely opposite view, especially on economic issues, compared to libertarians.
