When Trump spoke at the LP convention he said something about the party
getting its usual 3%; he was being very kind. They did get 3.28% in 2016

Very interesting. There is a libertarian party in sweden. I voted for them once or twice in my youth, I think they got 3000 and 3800 votes or so in those elections, and then I never bothered since they never showed much interest in actually growing, but was more a kind of discussion club.
