You didn't need to mention that you are Libertarian at all. It adds literally nothing to your point.
edit: beside, we all know that on the National level Libertarians are just rebranded Republicans. Without Republican support, Libertarians wouldn't exist at all.

No one would pay attention to a lemming who votes Democrat or Republican complaining about how they aren’t fair.
The only possible reply would be “Why do you keep supporting Team Donkey or Team Elephant?”.
If that concept is too difficult to grasp, future correspondence between us is going to be pointless.

How did mentioning that you are a registered Libertarian further your point?

Here is your post, but without the Libertarian registration part.

Do you know how hard it is for anyone not on Team Donkey or Team Elephant to even get on the ballot? The two main parties work together to keep their competition uncompetitive, they collude against anyone not playing their game, cheat to keep them out of power, and no one bats an eye.
Edit: You Bernie supporters know this first hand, now. You just got the same lesson Ron Paul supporters in the GOP got in 2012.
It says exactly the same thing. The only difference is that we don't have to hear about you being a Libertarian. I'm several posts in on this thread, do you know my political leaning?
Also, do you think Libertarians would exist on the national stage if it weren't for Republican backing?

Oh, I fully expect Trump to fight to stay in power. I'd say more likely than not, he will stay in power, regardless of electoral outcome. I expect him to lose the popular vote by 5-10%, and I'm personally leaning towards him narrowly losing the EC as well. I then expect him to take steps to ensure that the republican controlled states refuse to send electors, meaning that nobody gets past 270, which causes the presidential vote to take place in the House of Representatives, where each state gets one vote, giving him an advantage because there are 29 states with republican legislatures.
If that fails, I expect him to call on his "patriot army" to start an uprising, while declaring martial law.
I'd say there's a greater than 50% chance that the outcome of the 2020 election is decided by the US military.

Is that post a joke? My sarcasm detector may not be working...
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

It's half joking because those unfounded concerns have already been spewing out all over the internets the last 4-6 months. Yes, some people go down that rabbit hole.

Would you kindly explain to me what parts of my post are (a) illegal or (b) a line that Trump would not cross?
Please follow that up with examples of (a) Trump/GOP bootlickers following the laws that are enforced against them and (b) Trump not crossing a line.

I'll make a signature bet that if Trump loses the electoral college, he won't get a second term.

Actually, if Trump would lose the EC, why would it even matter if none of the Republican electorates show up? Let's say the EC vote is expected to be 270 for Biden and 268 for Trump. Even if not a single Trump electorate shows up, Biden still gets to 270, doesn't he?

Ah, so you're earlier post WAS just sarcasm.

Very simple. There are 19 states with democratic legislatures, which control 220 electoral votes. While it is very likely that Trump will lose states that have republican legislatures, those legislatures could refuse to send electors. Assuming that Biden wins all states that have democratic legislatures, and Republicans block electors in red states out of fealty to Dear Leader, only 220 electors show up for the vote, leaving Biden 50 short of a win.
As a result, Biden gets 220 electors, Trump gets...I'm too lazy to count, somewhere south of 270, there is no majority winner, and the election moves to the house of representatives, where each state legislature gets one vote. 29 states, controlled by republicans, vote for Trump, giving him the presidency again, with a majority 29-21.

No, Maybe you haven;t noticed, but you've lost some credibility around these parts. As for me, I have not considered you credible since your "king of make believe" days about a year back.
As Koods said in another thread, why would I lower myself to play stupid games with people I do not consider worthy or credible? Winning a signature bet with you means nothing to me, so why would I even bother? If you need someone to pump your ego, look elsewhere.

What? And you never once stood up for koods to help him prove he wasn't make believing when I called him out on it?
And I though I lost you when I argued that the $46,000 Russia spend on Facebook ads (about $5000 of which was political content) wasn't equivalent to the $81,000,000 spend by Trump/Hillary.

Of course you and koods would say that. I wouldn't expect either of you to say you're afraid you'd lose such a bet! 
But it's interesting to know you're with team koods.

The fact that you addressed my points on your interpersonal behavior, while neglecting my argument, speak volumes.
They also confirm that I made the right decision when I stopped taking you seriously.
I'm sure your simplistic "fight me bro" tactics work well in the frats, and I'm sure they will work on some of the posters around here. Go fish.

I heard your argument, and I still disagree this will happen, which is why I offered a signature bet that you chickened out on.
Would you like me to say again that I still think what you said will not happen?
