I really wonder if the Libertarians do actually start to make real gains as Gen Z begins voting. They are pretty Libertarian friendly, even if there’s a large segment of them that Lean Democratic.

In my experience, younger Millennials and Gen Z’s that vote Libertarian have the following characteristics:
1) White males
2) Reject socialism and many forms of government control
3) Are really concerned about government spending and the debt
4) Think both parties are corrupt & only care about big money
5) Are non-religious and are sick of the GOP’s social/cultural conservatism
6) Don’t like the Democrats plans to spend a bunch on social welfare stuff.
The most important of the 6, though, are #2, 4, and 5.

Jorgensen gains over 12,000 Facebook followers since the debate. That might not seem like a lot, but that’s more than her weekly average (9-10,000) every week since August.

Does anybody know which states will only have Trump, Biden, and Jorgensen? I know Oklahoma has Kanye on. But which states will Jo be the only alternative?

Besides the Libertarian party (which is devoted enough to stay afloat) are any 3rd parties really going to be left after 2020?
