A strong 3rd party would have a large social media presence, voter engagement, a platform people can comprehend that doesn't juxtapose contrasting ideals together into a chimeric abomination, and most importantly would have candidates people had heard of before election day.
The Libertarian party is a bunch of half-assing shit-for-brains with zero vision, zero ground game, zero foreplanning, and they exist solely as a quasi-farcical guerilla force in elections that draw in protest votes when people are faced with a dickhead and a fuckface for choices
The Libertarian party is the Southpark Underpants Gnomes of political parties.

This rant is not because of the KY elections. Bevin pissed off Louisville and the black community engaged in the largest GOTV effort in decades, drawing out by my count 50k MORE votes than expected.
No, the Libertarian party is the Southpark Underpants Gnomes of political parties because they are the embodiment of the "1) Steal Underwear 2) ..... 3) PROFIT!" methodology.

You know what the Libertarian party DIDNT run for in Kentucky?

Everything other than Governor.
For portraying themselves as a bunch of businessmen, the @LPNational have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS SENSE.

Where is the marketing?

Where is it? They throw up candidate after candidate with literally nothing in terms of an announcement or publicity, They don't FIGHT for publicity.
@LPNational And, worst of all, they do it targeting only executive and national-level political offices. The places where the barriers to entry are the highest they throw themselves into those walls with reckless abandon, dashing any hopes of there being a viable third choice with them.
@LPNational The libertarian party of the 80's and 90's, at least THEY had some sense, and started going after local seats, state level congressional seats that a few thousand votes could tip.
@LPNational Some free advice, @LPNational, if you want people to treat you other than anything as the toilet paper they wipe their ass with on election days.

👏 GET 👏 OUT 👏 OF 👏 YOUR 👏 OWN 👏 WAY 👏
@LPNational You will NEVER win an election to an executive seat or a national legislative seat at this rate.

NEVER.

What you need is get it through your thick skulls that the two party system is a 'devil you know' system. People vote for the devils rather than the crackhead they don't.
@LPNational Target a state with a weak GOP. Alaska, for example, or Arizona. Places turning purple where the GOP are faltering. Virginia, even.

Target those states, and specifically, target their state legislatures. Target their State Secretaries, Treasurers, etc. EVERYTHING BUT GOVERNOR.
@LPNational You guys think you can spin hay into gold. You probably can. Target 1 to 3 states, tailor your messages specifically to those states, fucking go after it. Bring in every bit of firepower you can muster for every dog catcher race in those states. Get your legislative majorities.
@LPNational THEN, and ONLY THEN, once you have the state, you grab the governor seat. THEN, and ONLY THEN, you grab the house and senate positions.

You build a strong base, and then you bootstrap up your political machine from that strong base.

Right now? You have no base.
@LPNational 99% of your 20k votes WERE NOT LIBERTARIANS. Do you NOT see that as a problem? Do you NOT understand that protest votes aren't the equal to support?

Did you honestly think the 'record' votes you got in 2016 were legitimate support?
@LPNational YOUR FUCKING CANDIDATE, GARY JOHNSON, WAS DROOLING DURING INTERVIEWS. It was like he was doing the world's best Biden impersonation! I'm honestly shocked he didn't start trying to sniff female reporters' hair he was fucking up so royal in the interviews he should have rocked!
@LPNational The @LPNational is a fucking clown show and a once-every-four-years residence of protest votes.

You want to be taken seriously? Listen to me. FFS, I have a larger social media presence than your KY governor candidate did you incompetent fucking twats! IM A GODDAMN SATIRE ACCOUNT
@LPNational When your candidate has fewer social media engagements and followers than a piece of chocolate avatar having bourbon swilling 'baby's first book of swears' spewing may or may not be a russian bot depending on if twitter support is pmsing being asshole, THERE IS AN ISSUE.
@LPNational And that issue, is that your party is a either a joke, or an effective cutout to fuck up elections, and at this point, I don't know which is worse.
@LPNational The worst part? I would almost RATHER the @LPNational be a tool of the Dems to fuck up election results.

It would at least be a better explanation than the @LPNational being so pants on head retarded that they can't formulate an effective growth strategy after DECADES OF LOSING.
