The biggest issue facing the LP is image. As much as we would like to believe that naked guys, pink hair, and smoking weed is just fine and dandy it presents a horrible image. Libertarians don't make up enough of the population to make a huge impact by themselves, the LP will need to attract people from the left, middle, and right and we can't do that with naked guys taking the stage, chicks with pink hair running for office, a candidate that supports Clinton and another that smokes weed and isn't up to date on important issues that many people care about - AND btw couldn't justify why those issues weren't important to him - the Aleppo ordeal was a fantastic opportunity to stump for ending foreign interventionism and focusing on improving our own country - the ball wasn't just dropped, it was never in hand to start with. 2016 presented probably the best opportunity we've ever had to make an impact and attract new people to libertarianism and the LP fucked it up every step of the way.

Another issue is that Libertarians can't seem to agree on exactly which issues are the most important and which issues should be approached first. Going full tilt libertarian is shocking to alot of people and it's got to be approached delicately and slowly. Let's start with securing the country and the rights we already have, eliminating waste, balancing the budget, and controlling our debt before we start in on eliminating the fed and abolishing the federal government and borders.
