Worst Case Scenario

[BluesLegend]

I suppose it's rigged in various ways to favor incumbents and major parties. But we can easily fight back. Just don't vote for them.

It's massively rigged in favor of the incumbents. Whenever the rare candidate defeats the chosen party hack they adjust the rigging to take the seat back.

Regardless, they can't win if we don't vote for them.

If you are unhappy with the state of our country but turn around and vote for an incumbent then Fuck You for being part of the problem. Neither of those men should be allowed to tour the White House.

Compared to past times, I'm relatively happy with the state of the country. But I'm absolutely going with the "Neither of those men..." part.

Probably what I'll do, but it depends on who they nominate. If they're not the best candidate, my vote will go elsewhere.

Voting based on personality is a terrible idea

So is voting based on looks. I'm advocating neither, but you're clearly working on a strawman - proceed.

It don't think I could vote for him if they did. I'd look again, but he's never struck me as particularly libertarian. And his enthusiasm for populist conspiracy horseshit loses me out of the gate.

The last libertarian nominated by the Libertarian Party was Bednarik. It's been a while

I'm certainly not dblack 's codpiece, but that isn't in any way what he said. Why didn't you ever learn how to read?
