Hmm ... did you mean "engaging in a concerted effort to siphon votes that would ordinarily be expected to go to Democrats off into a black hole of nothingness, leaving Republican votes intact and thus enhancing the chances of Republicans being elected"?

I kinda think you did, but I'm open to enlightenment

Anyone who voted Libertarian at national level threw their vote away. If a local contest was already a done deal, that would be a different matter. Demonstrating increasing support for progressive alternatives may move the existing parties to reform.

Single issue groups have a real problem within the current two party structure. Their overall sympathies lie with one party but that party is ignoring or opposing their key issue. This is not unique to the Pink Pistols. Greens and others have the same problem.
