Change my mind...
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle

voting 3rd party for POTUS is a complete waste. stay home.
I vote 3rd party for local elections -they need all the help they can get.
and supporting a grass roots libertarian is a good idea
But a national election determines the direction of the country -do you care about the direction of the county?
apparently not. My advice is think which man you want as POTUS -if you still don't GAF -
then go ahead and waste your vote.
But if you see a difference between Biden or Trump -vote the difference

You mean you'll be voting for Trump.
When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist
I voted for Gary Johnson in '16. I would have voted for Justin Amash had he run in '20. I need to know more about Jorgensen. I saw a tweet of hers that supported the Kendi Abraham anti-racism movement which made no sense to me considering Araham would consider a fair amount of what Libertarians support as racist.
I'm sure each City/State is different, but at least for us we have generally have a large number of state and local ballot measures to vote on so it is worth turning out regardless of whether you vote for the President or not. When they're trying to pass multiple bond measures totaling billions of dollars that raise your taxes you want a say in it.
