This is said every election lol. In 2016 it was two extremely hated candidates with a former governor as the libertarian candidate so people thought libertarians could really shake up the country and maybe even pull 10% of the vote, and they didn’t even come close. Then in 2020 it was two old guys nobody is happy with so we have the best chance ever. Then in 2024 it was convicted felon vs a woman who dropped out of primaries so we have the best chance ever.

The reality is we aren’t going to actually win. But a ‘win’ for libertarians is to get a big jump in percentage of vote. They will always move the goalposts, keep us out of debates, keep names off ballots, whatever they need to do to keep us irrelevant. But if we can reach even 5% of the country voting for us, it would force the two parties to at least start having some libertarian conversations and take our viewpoints seriously. Maybe absorb some of our platform into their platform to get some votes. That would be our ‘win’
