See, that's the thing - the Libertarian position is in my opinion extremely compatible with most peoples' positions, but no one supports them because "they'll never win" - a self fulfilling prophecy.
That website may easily be biased though.

Actual social libertarians would never join a political party. This may explain their underrepresentation.
In fact, the Democratic Party has a lot in common with social libertarians, just as the Republican Party has a lot in common with economic libertarians.
