I confess I was a registered Libertarian for 35 years. I noticed a clear pattern. Voting for Libertarian candidates elected Democrats.
I saw it over and over and over. It took me a while, but I finally learned.
The Libertarians deny this, of course. They stick to the fantasy that they hurt both sides equally.
That is a lie.
Yep - not a rare occasion that when enough folks vote for the truly best candidate in a race, the absolute worst one wins....the moral of the story is that politics is so messed up that second best is the best you might ever do.....except in rare occasions like the Presidential elections in 1980, 1984, 2016, and hopefully 2020.....
