"consequently a vote for a Libertarian helps a Democrat"
That's the best response I've heard yet from a Libertarian. It's the only logical course Libertarians can pursue and justify letting the "greater" evil to win from time to time. Of course, I disagree that the Libertarians will ever be anything more than a minor party, but the Brits probably said that about the Revolutionaries as well. . . . Well put.
Yes- and I hope the Repubs take notice! Political change doesn't happen overnight. If we're to abandon the libertarians for the short term goal of preventing the Dems from winning then we'll never see any improvement at all. If the Republicans see the Libertarians gain ground year after year, then they'd better deliver while they are in a position to do something about it or see more and more votes going over to the Libertarians.
