I just can't stand either anymore, red or blue. I'd be willing to put some time and energy into a third option just there seems to be no option that doesn't involve shoving opinions and beliefs onto others with an indirect threat of force ie laws and regulations. We need to start repealing laws imo and every politicians solution to a problem is writing more laws.

Also most libertarians seem to be stereotypical republicans that smoke weed which I think has garnered libertarianism a bad wrap.

Sadly everyone gives the “if you vote for a third party, you’re wasting your vote” answer

Unfortunately, you are right. Which will keep us on the slow march, which I feel hastened recently, to either red or blue authoritarianism. People seem to advocate for the removal of their own freedoms as long as the party doing it is the right color. What they fail to realize is those regulations they advocated for will be weaponized against them the next cycle.

The weaponizing has always been a thing. It would happen even if there was more than two parties.
