*I'm not certain what incident you're referring to but it doesn't really
matter because if big L Libertarians were so petty as to allow free trade
to be destroyed and were willing to betray one of the key small l
libertarian principles just because Harris was once rude to them, then they
are not people who should be taken seriously. *

*If the Many World's interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct then
there is a universe where the Libertarian Party really is the mainstream
opposition party, or at least an opposition party. In that universe the
Libertarian Party would do everything in its power, including endorsing the
Democratic candidate, to ensure that a rabid opponent of free trade and
capitalism didn't become president. But unfortunately that is NOT the
universe I'm living in. Why not? Because despite its name the Libertarian
Party is full of people who are not libertarians, and rather than actively
oppose the most anti-libertarian president in American history they defend
him at every opportunity.*
