      How does that contradict what I said. Also the LP is still further right than the GOP

        If all third-party candidates had to vote for one of the two main candidates, I think nearly all of the Green Party votes would go to the Democrat, while the Libertarian votes would be much more of a split.

          Maybe an 80/20 split at best, but the GOP has always been the more libertarian aligned party, going back to Barry Goldwater, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, and now Thomas Massie

          I don’t agree, but “right-wing” doesn’t really have a non-arbitrary definition so it doesn’t really matter
