In before the shitstorm... but I agree...
Better to have an R in there than a D, and if you vote L, you're probably gonna end up with a D. |

their vote, thier rules.
They say they can't support the republicans, which are way to similar to democrats. Sadly, not support R means not opposing D. I wish it were, but it just isnt. |

Never voted for a libertarian candidate before, but why do you, and so many republicans think they're entitled to the votes of libertarians? If the libertarians were republicans, they would be republicans, they are libertarians for a reason, they do not agree with the policies of the republican party, what makes you think you can tell people to vote for something they disagree with?
I don't understand the sense of entitlement republicans have about libertarian votes... |

Regardless of how electable she is or isn't, they will vote for her. The anti-Republican vitriol amongst low-information voters runs deep and cannot be overcome, as has been proven by the fool in the White House. |

What difference at this point does it make? Doesn't in my state. Single party rule here in California. Republicans are a self described "impotent minority" here. At least I can vote my conscience rather then the lesser of two evils.

Ive been told libertarians are insignificant and their vote means jack shit. Well, at least right up to the point where a R loses. You GOP folks really need to work on your message.
ETA: Tagged for "this is the most important election EVAR!" banter followed by "vote R today, vote your heart tomorrow". Ultimately ending in "You fucking dope smoking hippies gave the election to the liberals". Love a good election season on this site.

This. Sooner or later, Republicans will shed those puritanical views that cost them election after election and embrace the values that their constituents are actually asking to be represented. The weed legalization fear is just plain stupid. I'd rather legalize weed than surrender any more of my liberty. |

Ok bro. I'm sure compromising my conscience will be the pivotal factor in determining whether America gets a shit executive or a merely retarded one.
Fact is voting at the national scale is thoroughly proven to be a social act, not a political one. So, since my social life doesn't revolve around ideological purity tests in online communities that don't understand an iterated prisoner's dilemma, I'm free to not care about people desperately attempting to retroactively legitimize the system taxing me. |

Quoted:
Unfortunately, a vote for a Libertarian candidate in November is essentially a vote for the Democrats. I hate for establishment Republicans to remain seated, or gain more seats, but it's better than the alternative for now. Once Libertarian politicians start securing municipal or city positions and Americans start seeing that a 3 party system is viable, voting for them in state and national elections is a wasted vote at this point. Just my opinion. I'm very concerned with our gun rights, among other things, if Democrats retain control of the Senate and, God forbid, gain control of the House. There would be nothing to stand in their way to begin ramming even more of their agenda down our throats. Call me dramatic, but it's no secret that the direction our country is headed does not end well. Before you guys start saying the usual "Republicans are just as bad" mantra, think about what is important to you and how much of that is at stake with Democrats in control. Sure, establishment Republicans are almost as crooked as Democrats, but at least the up and comers seem to have grasped onto the core values that they once all believed in. I've typed out three replies, and deleted all of them. How about I will vote for whoever I want. You do your party a disservice by making them all look like entitled whiners, which they're more than capable of doing themselves. |

There is no difference between the R and the D; at the end of the day we still spend too much money and loose freedoms. Believing there is a difference in this day and age is akin to beveling in Santa clause. Believing that R's will save us is delusional. Turn off your TV and think for yourselves.
