All of that effort to get on all the ballots on the small chance one of the major candidates turns out to be a nut and the Libertarian party couldn't get someone halfway competent up there in the one election where it might have mattered.

Anyway who knew the basics of what's going on in the world from a political standpoint probably would be polling above 15% and get into the final debate.

and now he endorsed Johnson after having endorsed Trump in the past after having endorsed Hillary in the past

He just needs to endorse Jill Stein next week to complete the package

They let Ross Perot debate when he was polling at 9%, but then they decided to raise the requirement to 15% just so they could exclude third parties harder. If the Libertarian nominee was pulling 15% they'd just cherry-pick polls that make it look like it's below 15%.

Isn't your theory that "they'd just cherry-pick polls" to exclude anyone undercut by the fact that "they let Ross Perot debate at 9%"?

Maybe if the Libertarian party had nominated someone who was less of an idiot than Johnson one could credibly make the case that their nominee was relevant. Better luck next time a major-party candidate implodes!

Gary Johnson gets 9% in the polls and they don't let him debate.

You guys should vote for Gary Johnson because he's projected 4.8% of the vote.

Most states are not swing states in this election and your vote doesn't matter. Each vote for Gary Johnson matters because it gives ballot access to the Libertarian party for the next election.

I don't think the Libertarian party has much use for ballot access if, in the election most friendly to third party candidates in 50 years, the best they could muster was Gary Johnson.

Vote for Johnson because all the cool kids are doing it?

Johnson will get closer to 48 votes then 4.8%. Also he's terrible.

the only reason for voting Johnson is if you have bet on him getting 5% (in which case lol).

Because the Republican party is pretty terrible right now, and it would be better if the Libertarian party replaced it as a major party.

All Republican positions. He's also much better on personal liberties, war, etc.

A Libertarian major party would be in every way better than the Republican party.
