Slightly agree

Yes, but limit the amount they can donate

While Libertarians generally support minimal government intervention, they may be open to the idea of limiting the amount that corporations, unions, and non-profits can donate to political parties. This could be seen as a compromise to address concerns about potential corruption or undue influence while still allowing these entities to participate in the political process.

Disagree

No, these types of donations just turn into bribes

Very strongly disagree

No, and political campaigns should be publicly funded

Libertarians would strongly disagree with this answer, as it goes against their core principles of minimal government intervention and individual rights.
