Don't get me wrong, I'm still a libertarian, and if there were a decent libertarian candidate out there I'd support them, but currently there aren't any. What I like about Bernie is his honesty and integrity, his willingness to recognize flaws in the political system and try and fix them.
FYI, there isn't really a big libertarian movement in the UK, everything I've based my libertarianism off has been American, so I'm not sure why you thought you were telling me that libertarianism was "different" in the US, because I'd been following the American brand of libertarianism in the first place. Where I think we disagree is which politicians are actually libertarian. You seem to think every Republican politician who says they are libertarian is one, when they aren't. There's an official libertarian party in the US; those are the libertarians I align myself with...
