Can the Libertarian Party "win"?

from Liberty Explained - The Basics of Libertarianism · host We Are Libertarians

Can the Libertarian Party "win"? Winning for the Libertarian Party extends beyond clinching presidential elections. Although the odds of a Libertarian candidate securing the most electoral votes in a presidential race are slim, the party leverages this platform to disseminate its principles to a wider audience. The national objective of the Libertarian Party, as a minority party, is to influence the policies of the major parties to enhance individual freedoms and constrain governmental intrusion. Local politics is a vital frontier where Libertarian candidates have more substantial opportunities to secure victories and demonstrate their governing capabilities, as evidenced by many Libertarians currently holding office. Furthermore, the party's influence is observable when policies proposed by Libertarian candidates are adopted by winning candidates from major parties. The transition of figures like Justin Amash and Laura Ebke to the Libertarian Party is also considered a victory, as it amplifies the party's visibility and acceptance, underscoring the power of social proof in politics.
