Reply #69: If you know he won't win, and I know he won't win

then what's the point of pretending to "support" his candidacy? It's pretty obvious to me that even HE doesn't think he has a chance. It's great that he's running, and I think his presence in the race does move the debate about an eighth of an inch to the left, for whatever that's worth. But I'll reserve my support for the folks who have a chance of winning, if that's okay with you. And I'm actually somewhat to the left of "liberal," since you asked—more of a progressive libertarian.
