And libertarians filling the list with detailed nit-picking arguments
about how the poor half of the nation might have to let sick children
die because they can't afford medical bills and the state shouldn't
give handouts is a complete turnoff for the public.
(That's only one of many turnoffs!)

Libertarianism enthusiasts ruin any chance of appealing to the public.
