You'd think any actual libertarian would be jumping at the chance to get Johnson over the 5% threshold.

- MarkPNeyer 10y agoHe's polled as high as 12, but they made it 15% after perot. And yes, many of us are.
- crusso 10y agoUnless Thiel is actually interested in backing a candidate with a chance of winning - in which case, 5% means nothing.
- tlrobinson 10y agoBeing included the debates is not "nothing".
- crusso 10y agoBeing included in the debates is not winning. I consider myself to be mostly a Libertarian, but I have no illusions. Short of some beyond comprehension post-singularity-ish event, no Libertarian will ever win the Presidency.

Partisan realignments in which a major party is displaced are not "beyond comprehension post-singularity events" (heck, even the kind of electoral reforms that would end duopoly aren't, though they are unprecedented within the US, unlike major realignments) even if its been 150 years since the last one in the US.
