Harry Browne was fond of saying, "The best way to throw away your vote is to give it to a candidate you don't believe in."
In fact the US would benefit from a true 3rd party culture,
OP, you are only one person, your vote will never sway a single national election, so why are you voting, or caring who votes for whom?
Don't like that assessment? Then don't preach it by telling people their votes don't count. Either your vote counts no matter who you vote for, or it's meaningless.
The intolerance of independent thought and actions by the Left/Right is disgusting. It's topped only by their complete lack of personal morals or integrity, as they sell their souls to their Lib/Con gods, praying that in their infinite divine wisdom, these politicians will dole out to them the life they've always dreamed of. Did someone say something about unicorns..?
Yeah-yeah-yeah, single vote does't count, bla-bla-bla... but 38,415 + 50,636 + 62,013 votes of "independent thinkers" probably gave us (and them) the fucking Biden/Harris regime. Enjoy your enema.
EXCLUDING election fraud, only one of the states listed has been called. Are you in the business of allowing the media to determine your elections?
Libertarians need to start winning elections at the state and local level first.
I was in CA at the time so it ultimately didn't matter
That would require doing real work. Having a real grassroots organization. Spending real money. Apparently there is no will for that. Never was, really.
It won't happen. With the structure of US government as it is the field always naturally settles into 2 party system.
Until it happens.

It won't. There might be a new party replacing one of two currently on top (like it happened in the past) but three party system - fuggedaboutit. It's structurally impossible w/o rewriting the Constitution. Good luck with that.
For context, the Libertarians lost over 50% of their votes compared to 2016. A lot of GOP malcontents voted Libertarian in 2016 but likely came around to Trump after four years.

I gotta find the screenshot, it's on here somewhere - I have a screeny of Jorgenson losing almost half her vote and it going to Biden in 10 minutes. The exact time was between 12:03 and 12:13AM on Election Night (or Wednesday morning, I can already hear the pedantic wiseasses)
