The main reason Libertarians get nowhere is that they are recognized as
just another offshoot of the GOPers, but with even less social

That is simply demonstrating your prejudice or perhaps ignorance of
what it means to be Libertarian.
They take, what I think, is the best parts of both parties.

Have you ever taken the quiz at LP.ORG?

And they haven't been helped by Libertarian elected
officials such as Ron and Rand Paul, who many middle of the road
Americans think are nuts and also just a tad too far over on the side of
racists.


The Pauls are not really Libertarians since they want the government
to control the woman's right to choose, among other things.

Did Browne even get 1% of the total vote in his two presidential campaigns?


Yes in 96. When you consider that his ad budget was basically zero and
he did not get much "free" advertising like Trump gets, it was as well
as could be expected. There was also the Perot factor, siphoning off
3d party people.
