Let's not throw away our votes to somebody who has no chance at winning. Rather, let's progressively elect more and more pro bitcoin candidates. Voting for guys like this is akin to betting on shitcoins.
Although ideologically I align very much with Libertarians, I find that they are afflicted with "should" instead of "does".
Meaning, they get wound up in viewing the world as it "should be" and ignore the reality of how the world really is.....this causes them to basically waste their life supporting people like this....
Donald Trump is an ego-maniac clown....and yes he loves low interest from federal reserve....however he (a) is generally antiwar, (b) is pro-bitcoin, (c) and isn't using rhetoric that targets me.....thus that triangulates to my probable support.
I'm also interested in lots of things RFK says and I haven't written him off yet. There are just a few things of trust I have with him that I can't quite articulate or pin down. But in theory he says many things that I agree with (except his climate change stuff).

By this logic we will never ever get what we want.
And this is exactly why first-past-the-post sucks and what's great about ranked-choice-voting
