Tiny - does that mean if Bernie, Lizzie, or any of the DPST Left are nominated, That you would vote for the Republican candidate? Or, perhaps, the Libertarian candidate.

If I had it to do all over again with perfect hindsight, I'd vote for Bill Clinton when he ran for a second term, as he and a Republican Congress did good things together.
If Trump is the Republican candidate I'd probably vote for the Libertarian. But I can't say for sure, if someone like Sanders or Warren is nominated. I didn't like John McCain, but held my nose and voted for him because Barack Obama's economic policies scared me. It turns out that Obama didn't do as badly as I feared. However, it was only because Republicans controlled at least one house of Congress except during Obama's first two years. During the first two years, being saddled with a recession, Obama couldn't implement any truly radical policies without torpedoing the economy and he was smart enough to know that.
What about Biden vs. Trump, if the Libertarians nominated, say, John McAfee, who came in 2nd in the 2016 primary? (McAfee's been accused of murder in Belize and likes his girlfriends to shit in his face through a hole in a hammock while he lies underneath. Seriously.) Well, if I thought the Republicans would maintain control of the Senate, Joe's my man.
