All elections are ultimately about choosing the lesser of evils, because there is evil in every candidate, as there is in every human being. The differences are how much evil and in what ways, but the evil is ALWAYS there, and always has been.

@lauren

Agreed, all elections are about selecting the lesser of all the evils presented, those evils being : Republican (extremely evil), democrat (extremely evil), Libertarian (a little bit evil), Green party (a tiny bit evil), third party (varies).

So remember, if you care about picking the lesser evil, make sure you never vote democrat or republican, pick any of the many lesser evils on the table, but not those two greater evils.

@freemo @lauren I'd argue Libertarian Party is full (extremely evil) too since the far-right Mises Caucus takeover.

Debatable. So far their presidential candidates have been less evil than the two top parties, that may change next election, lets see.

@lauren

@freemo Yeah, but the party leadership is actively hostile to any reasonable candidates and is driving them away at every level.

@LouisIngenthron

The proof will ber in the pudding. I can only speak to the options we have had to date. It is perfectly possible they may not be a great choice either and a different third party may look much more appealing, we will see.

@freemo On that note, I'm personally a big fan of the grassroots work being done by Nicholas Sarwark with the LPI. Hopefully that will lead to a future with a more viable libertarian party.
