Certain people have certain issues they are passionate about.  Nothing else matters to them except those issues.  so they just don't care if there are huge differences or nnot because they don't think anything matters except the issues that are impoirtant to them.

If they are not gay them same sex marriage is a meaningless issue.  

If they are not female then abortion is a meaningless issue.

If they don't make a million dollars then higher taxes is a meaninless isses.

If their house is not being broken up by earthquakes then fracking is a meaningless issue.

If they don't have a friend or family member in the military then thousands of military deaths and casualties are meaningless to them.

But it doesn't work that way.  You can't just ignore everyone else on earth and claim that your own interests are the only things that matter and the things other people care about are meaningless.

The NAP and idea of liberty cover every one of those things. But unlike left and right squabbling, the NAP and individual liberty calls into question the role of government overall and addressing these issues with a philosophical approach, unlike the parties. Similar to how conservatism and socialism address government (and probably culture to a lesser extent) as a whole with a set of principles and ideas. That's what the NAP and liberty do as well.
