But in asking people to vote libertarian, you're asking people to suffer mightily in the short term for a thin possibility of gain in the very long term. Because you're saying, "Don't vote for the lesser of two evils; vote for this other candidate who can't get elected, just to send a message." And then the more evil candidate gets elected, because the better people vote libertarian. And then it's not even clear if there will _be_ a long term.
