But I'm not exactly an enthusiastic political supporter. However, I may vote Libertarian in November, just to raise a third party's profile, but that depends on where my state's polls stand at the end of October. In the highly unlikely event it's close, I'll vote Clinton.
But why vote a party whose policies are "the same as the republican ones, only faster and stupider"? It's not like the US is short of right-wing fuck the poor parties to vote for.
I'd vote Libertarian because getting them onto the national stage politically is the best way to sap the GOP. I explained, possibly in a different thread, that my grudge against the post-Southern Strategy GOP is a life-long political preoccupation of mine, and promoting the one third party likely to drain support from the hoary old monster is just another way of fighting them. I am not a Libertarian and am actually opposed to most of their platform. But the enemy of my enemy . . . .
