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.

every presidential run is a grift.
