And Libertarians actually take votes away from Trump. Libertarians like Sid Daoud. Which this article is about.
From this article:
“There is a perception, and there is a reason for it, that the Libertarian poses a big threat to the Republican,” Lee Banville, a political analyst and director of the University of Montana School of Journalism, said last week.
Kinda funny to see a self-proclaimed socialist posting libertarian content. Trying to build some street cred to defuse the trolling claims perhaps? “Oh I’m a socialist, but really it’s all the third parties I care most about!”
Maybe just pick a lane.
Wait… so you believe in spoiler candidates, but not that Jill Stein is a spoiler?
Because you fight pretty hard when anyone calls Stein a spoiler siphoning votes from the Democratic party.
The very idea of a “spoiler” is a tool used by those clinging to the duopoly to scare people into submission, to keep us from voting our conscience.
You are correct that I don’t buy into that narrative, but in this community, where the term is tossed around like a weapon, I use the vernacular to communicate effectively.
Jill Stein isn’t a spoiler—she’s a voice for the people, challenging a corrupt system that fears true democracy. And she has my vote.

No, it’s a tool that exists in some flawed voting systems, recognized by political scientists and used by bad actors.

Why I distrust you, in particular, is that you only recognize the spoiler vernacular, and only post these articles, when they’re about “spoilers for the Trump campaign.” You never do the same for Democrats.

We disagree. She’s a spoiler, except unlike the person in the article you posted, she doesn’t have the moral fortitude to admit it. Her position on Ukraine makes her a complete non-starter for me; even if we did have approval or ranked choice voting, she’d wouldn’t get any vote from me. The Greens need to dump her idiot ass.
What has Jill Stein ever done for the people? Continually running and losing isn’t a public service. She’s absolutely worthless and there is a reasonable expectation that this will be so for the rest of her life.
