I love how the only option in his mind is to not vote in the future. Not trying to find the party that represents him, or vote for the other party that protects his views, but just give up entirely on democracy cause of one issue.
He is a weak person, a weak american, and is one of the problems with this country.
In fairness. First past the post necessarily leads to a two party state.
I'm sorry, but the only option is to single-mindedly campaign for pretentitial voting.
Voting for another party that protects his views is cute, but totally incompatible with the voting system in place in the US.

It's the unironic goal of a two party system. I've got beef with right wing "libertarians" but they're the closest current thing to a viable third party and they don't even enter this chud's thoughts.
God that's so sad. Have you ever spoken to a Libertarian? They're right wing, but somehow even dumber.
Oh, buddy, I got you beat. I used to be a libertarian in my early thirties. I'm in my mid forties now and I'm dumb as a bag of rocks. As dumb as I am now I've experienced an insane amount of learning and growth to lead me away from libertarianism.
Well, leftists and our infamous inability to organize without infighting is biting us in that regard.
