Libertarians present no realistic alternative, and in close races, throw the election to the Dem candidate, who if I were a LP, would want in ofc least of all candidates. If they would agree not to run in any race except where a Green Party candidate also ran, I could accept that. But in 3-way races, forget it. The only role they play there is spoiler, as they have a snowball's chance of winning anything.....

But the downside is that the Repubs have pretty much demonstrated that they're not going to give us what we need.

The Republicans are drinking the purple kool-aid, too.

So, what are our alternatives? Perhaps enough races getting tossed to the Dems will demonstrate to the Repubs that they had better start shrinking government.

That's the way the Socialist Party was able to infiltrate their agenda into the Dem/Repub parties. They became enough of a pain in the a** to the other parties that they had to assimilate the Socialists in order to keep power.

I'm not a Libertarian but your post #9 is the same old haughty, New York Timesesque-smugness that Republicans use when they lose close elections.

Shame on us for not voting for your pathetic RINOs. What are you gonna do now, send us to our rooms for a time-out?
