Many seem to wonder what to do this election. How do we choose between two pretty awful people? There is another option. Vote libertarian. Vote for Gary Johnson. To me, he's just the common sense candidate. Non interventionist. Liberal on social issues. Conservative fiscally. In my experience many people seem to share these ideals. Third party is a legitimate option this time and with this setup. Gary can legitimately expect to pull votes from both sides. Don't let the two party programming cause you to shy away from voting for the best person for the job. There will be a move in his direction. It's just a matter of how far it can go.

I predict that, as usual, not a single electoral vote will go to a third party candidate. In 1992 Ross Perot got nearly 19% (about 19 million votes) of the popular vote and got ZERO electoral votes but, with the Perot draw mostly being from Bush41, Clinton42 was handed the election with 43% of the popular vote. That is simply casting a "protest" vote that might make you feel not so resonsble for the eventual outcome. To escape this rigged two party system we need to have proportional assignment of all electoral votes.

But I'm not a Libertarian. So why would I do this?
Why would you vote for Trump or Clinton? Big drawbacks to that. One of them is going to be President, but at least it will have nothing to do with me.
Gary Johnson has two chances of winning. Slim, and none. Protest vote, nothing more.
And Slim just left town ... <-- you forgot that part! :mrgreen:
Changed his last name to "Pickings", and flew the coop! :2razz:Wait. I missed it? What happened??
