Quote: i still don't understand why people vote for 3rd party candidates with no chance of winning...especially in this election. i guess voting just to vote is good but it still doesn't make a lot of sense when this election is expected to be as close as 2000 and there's a pretty good difference between the top two candidates.
Well, the main reason is the desire to support the push for a major third party, which will only happen if we the party gets more and more votes and better and better elected positions (which the Libertarians have been doing very well at the last couple elections).
But I also don't believe in not voting, and I don't like either choice enough to vote one way or the other, and I don't dislike either of them enough to keep one out or the other in.
So I shall cast a Libertarian vote and vote for Badnarik. I would have preferred Nolan, but he didn't win the primaries (I was probably one of the few in the nation to actually watch the entire thing), so I shall vote for Badnarik to support the Libertarian Party knowing full-well that he won't win (nor would I particularly want him to)
