Two things:

1. You are right - Johnson can't be a spoiler because of his incredible lack of awareness. But what I want is the 5% for the Libertarians so that they have federal matching funds in 2020. I also hope that Evan McMullin wins Utah and maybe Idaho or Wyoming.

This is a 2 step process for me. I figure I will live another 50 years, so it is in my best interest to break the duopoly that the Dems and Reps have. Thus, I want the Libertarians to have money and for a non-duopoly candidate to win electoral votes. This would open people's minds to the possibility of choosing outside the usual box.

Thus, I hope that McMullin could run in 2020 as a Libertarian and actually break the duopoly. And then other parties (Green, Constitution, etc.) could also make inroads and force the Dems and Reps to actually, you know, do something constructive.

2. I can't abide Jill Stein's running-mate calling Obama an "Uncle Tom".
