I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how are they going about trying to gain influence in our current political system? They have a lot of great ideas, but it just seems like no one is paying enough attention. Everyone is so caught up in the dem/rep parties.
If I believed that Nader had a chance of winning, I'd vote for him, but I'm really having a hard time trying to convince myself that it's not a wasted vote. Maybe one day I'll think differently, but for now... hard to do.

The Libertarian party is going about it the only way they can. By slowly growing. Starting small with elections, in towns across America and has been growing exponentally over the past 25 years.
The next way is to turn heads. Being a spoiler in a political election would be a great step. The next is to try to grow into a viable contender for seats in congress.
The Republican and Democratic parties actually have very little hold of the entire public. A growing amount of people are just fed up with the bullshit from both sides.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
