The Green Party is far more left-wing than the Libertarian Party is right-wing.

How does that contradict what I said. Also the LP is still further right than the GOP

If all third-party candidates had to vote for one of the two main candidates, I think nearly all of the Green Party votes would go to the Democrat, while the Libertarian votes would be much more of a split.

Maybe an 80/20 split at best, but the GOP has always been the more libertarian aligned party, going back to Barry Goldwater, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, and now Thomas Massie

I don’t agree, but “right-wing” doesn’t really have a non-arbitrary definition so it doesn’t really matter

It’s very convenient measuring ideological abstracts rather than the objective number of votes those parties got.

Vote for the candidate that aligns to your politics. If genocide and climate disaster is compatible with those, stick to the GOP or the Democrats.
