Did you ever listen to Gary Johnson?

Yup. Perfectly decent guy. He'd have a chance running for the Democratic
nomination and presidency, but as a Libertarian nominee, he's never
going to get elected, and the Repugnants would never nominate him.

That is the problem with the two party system. If you don't fit into
their category exactly, you are out.
Johnson could run as a democrat in New Mexico or Montana but he
wouldn't stand a chance on either coast ... in either party.
He is too liberal for the republicans and to conservative for the
democrats.

It leaves people like me who are socially liberal and fiscally
conservative with no place to go.

Sure, a lib could win a statewide race or even a congressional district
rate but I don't see anything more than a "spoiler" against the total
vote in a national race. In a parliamentary system, which we don't have,
the lib party might do ok.
