Remember, there's almost no discussion about either the Libertarians or the Greens. There are many big reasons why these are fringe movements with little to no power, and as the GE moves along the great mass of more mainstream voter groups will remember why they identify any positions they may sympathize with as their own while rejecting these sidelined parties.
Libertarian leader Nicholas Sarwark: Our candidates aren't running to "reform" big government programs. Not to "replace" them. Definitely not to add to them.
