“The goal of all criticism of libertarians (and any other 3rd party poseurs, in my mind) is to ridicule them into a state of electoral effectiveness as asymptotically close to 0% as possible.”
In that case, the difference between 0% effectiveness and whatever their effectiveness is at present (o.o1%?) counts as their relevance. If they were truly “practically irrelevant,” people wouldn’t conspire to reduce their effectiveness.
It’s not “conspiring to reduce”... it’s just part of keeping up with all the issues in a tumultuous election year.
The number of votes wasted on L candidates will be low... I’m just hoping that it stays that way and I’m thinking that articles like this one hit that nail on the head.
But look, you have a right to vote the way you want. I’m not arguing against your right to pull that L lever. I’m just taking this opportunity here, in this thread, to agree with the writer of the posted article, that’s all.
But seriously, I’m not disputing anyone’s right to vote any which way they want.
I just like this article.
