Any reasonable, somewhat aware people have realized for a long time party affiliation has eff-all to do with anything.

Any reasonable person should NEVER vote for any Dem or Repub for national office ever.

Agreed, and I think that's the OP's point.

Apparently it hasn't registered with some however.

Libertarians would NEVER insist that taxpayers pay for ANYTHING; that is the antithesis of libertarianism. If someone wants to use drugs, that is their right as an individual sovereign. But they must accept 100% of the consequences for their actions.

What about vaccines? A libertarian wouldn't want to pay so that everyone got vaccines as to eradicate certain viruses?

Not by force, no.

If I chose not to participate, that is my own choice, and if I get sick, that is my fault and I must suffer the consequences. Just like if I choose to eat fast food 3 times a day, it's my fault if I get diabetes and heart disease.

It's called personal responsibility.
