What are you basing that on? Again, Libertarians lean Republican, just as Greens lean Democrats, Libertarians cost Trump 2020...

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't agree, but "right-wing" doesn't really have a non-arbitrary definition so it doesn't really matter

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

while the Libertarian votes would be much more of a split.

Maybe an 80/20 split at best, but the GOP has always been the more libertarian aligned party, going back to Barry Goldwater, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, and now Thomas Massie

How does that contradict what I said. Also the LP is still further right than the GOP

Why do headlines matter if she gets way less votes than Libertarians?

In 2016:

In Michigan Gary Johnson got 172,136 votes, in Pennsylvania he got 146,715, and in Wisconsin he got 106,674. If all Greens voted Clinton and all Libertarians voted Trump then New Mexico would’ve only been won by Clinton with around 1,000 votes, Colorado would’ve also been nearly Trump. Nevada, New Hampshire, and Minnesota would’ve been won by Trump. Maine might’ve gone majority Trump.

In 2020 if Libertarians went Republican and Greens went Democrat, Trump would've won Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and nearly Pennsylvania.

That would've tied the election, leading to a Trump presidency.

You're right about 2000 though.

Without third parties Republicans would win more

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Third parties help the democrats because the biggest third party is more right-aligned.

Yeah its hard for people to grasp that people have different values than them.

Do you vote separately for your president in the US?

Yes, because they're the president not the prime minister(which is Speaker of the House in the US)

What??

In Michigan Gary Johnson got 172,136 votes, in Pennsylvania he got 146,715, and in Wisconsin he got 106,674.

Third parties hurt Trump more than they help him, because Libertarians would not have voted Clinton.

I also get about 25$ a day for meals.

That's crazy though. $25 a day in meals for 1 person is genuine luxury.

 
 
 

The real shower thought was about movement across the highest speed we know of at the minimum distance we know of, so I divided Planck length by the speed of light.

 
 

It makes it clear the direction of movement and how the user has to position themselves so they can ride it without thinking about it- but it saves power from slowing down
