I won't argue that a vote for a libertarian candidate in the US presidential election is not a waste of your vote. I could and face to face I could convince some, but not in this forum.

Whar about local politics in off years? Many of my city elections have 50 to 100 votes in off years. When president isn't up no one shows. No one knows the local candidates. All you have to do is show up to the election with a good number of friends and you can win a local position.

Our country has historically been dominated by two partis, but it has not always been THESE two parties. Every once in a while one of the parties gets way off their supposed platform and is replaced. WHich party is that right now?
