Yikes. Personally, I'm not a fan of that.

It's a good read, and he makes some good cases for the guy, but I still can't help but feel that voting third party is wasting your vote. At the current state of American politics, a third party candidate will never win. Until the whole system is restructured and improved, which it desperately needs to be, someone voting third party (especially in swing states) does no good :/

It was for late-term abortion. Johnson left office in 2003, and was a Republican at the time. Now that they represent the Libertarian party, Johnson & Weld are pro-choice. (Johnson's been saying it should be the woman's choice since at least 2001, not seeing anything further back.)

^ Ah, I see. That's good then! :D I'm always happy when politicians change their political stances on issues for the better.

If this were any other election where both main party candidates were meh, I would seriously consider voting third party. But with Trump in this election, I just can't risk it. And I especially can't risk whatever disgusting neo-Nazi Republican(s) Trump would nominate for Supreme Court Justice.
