The Libertarian Party in the U.S. has experienced limited success since its founding in 1971, primarily focusing on promoting individual liberties, limited government, and free-market principles. While it has never won a presidential election, the party has seen some local and state-level victories, with a few candidates holding office. The party's influence has grown through its advocacy for civil liberties, non-interventionist foreign policy, and marijuana legalization, appealing to a diverse base disillusioned with the two-party system. However, it still faces challenges in gaining broader recognition and electoral success due to systemic barriers and a fragmented voter base.
