This might a small W but it’s a W nonetheless. The Libertarian Party is the most popular and best organized third party in the US, by a long shot. They have decades of work put in, not to mention ideologically they are very compatible with (white, middle/upper class) American superstructure. And Chase Oliver is objectively their best candidate they’ve fielded in maybe ever. He’s articulate and is good at emphasizing the least bad aspects of the ideology, like being anti-war and anti-MIC. For a Marxist-Leninist party that’s only gotten big recently and doesn’t even focus on electoralism, that’s honestly a great showing.
Though, this seems to be the Libertarians's worst election in a while. I wonder where their voters went. Surely they were aware that Kennedy dropped out?

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, they are libertarians after all.
It doesn't matter that someone "dropped out". Third parties are a way to have your political views counted. Same as voting for PSL or the Green Party.
