          Sorry. Voting for Giant Meteor.

          I mean, it’s going to solve most of our problems inside of five minutes of hitting the white house…

          …Global Warming… gone.
          Partisan politics… gone…
          Income inequality? Student Debt. All gone.

    People like RFK, Jill Stein, and Cornel West run for president as a grift. I don’t know who the libertarian candidate is this year, but it’s the same deal. They raise money to a small degree from a handful of true believers (those those people usually can be conned into providing free/cheap labor), and mostly from donors who are looking to fund spoilers. In some swing states, it’s a game of inches, and even getting 3% voting for a third party candidate makes it a win for your candidate.
