Jo Jorgensen votes could make a difference
Votes for Jorgensen won’t matter at all. Jorgensen has literally zero chance of winning any state. Arguing in some fashion that her vote tallies should be added to Trump’s is childish.
Who is she, anyway? The Libertarians couldn’t have chosen a more obscure candidate.
“...The Libertarians couldn’t have chosen a more obscure candidate.”

It doesn’t matter who the LOSERTARIANS run, the “mission” is always the same...drain votes from the Republican. Sadly, it’s not uncommon for them to succeed in that mission.
Libertarians may drain Republican votes. But insulting them isn’t going to achieve anything. Most Libertarians I know end up voting Republican. Insulting them won’t win more of their votes. Getting republicans to actually carry out some smaller govt initiatives would get more of their votes. I thought we wanted smaller govt?
The LP today is not the LP of the past. It’s not the Ron Paul LP anymore, they more closely resemble the Democrats, so in fact, they probably take as many Rat votes as Republican votes now.
Sad then. But I live in a seriously conservative area. I can imagine that libertarians in Calif are pretty out there. too bad. Libertarians used to acknowledge that personal responsibility is necessary for a free society and without responsibility there can be no freedom.
There is talk that the Libertarian ticket could drain Trump votes in swing states. I personally don’t think the tiny fraction of Libertarian votes will make any difference as Trump is way ahead of Biden in legal votes cast.
I would not be at all surprised if the Dominion software moved a few thousand votes from the Libertarian to Biden. No one would miss them, would they? But they sure would help Biden in an extremely tight race.
