    Tonight Russia Today will exhibit the debate between Jill Stein, the candidate of the Green Party and Gary Johnson the candidate of the Libertarian Party. Both candidates are the best choices to be the third force in the elections of USA. And that could be an important change.

    As a leftist, and with a closer ideology to Jill Stein and the Green Party I support them, and if I had to vote in USA I would vote for them. Well this party at first, does not accept donations from corporations, that is a good thing, because it keeps more independent. Also this party has Jill Stein that has been proved an activist and that is good. Not only she fights in the parliament also in the streets. And also is a party that shares many visions with the Libertarian Party in the points of individual freedom, in social questions that not involve economy. They are really different in the economy, the Green Party is more socialist while the Libertarians are more defenders of the Free Market.

    Then now is the time to say why you prefer one or other.

    In the poll also I will add other parties.

    I voted "Other Party".

    I voted for Gary Johnson and I stand by a lot of what the Libertarian Party does, but personally I'm a big fan of the American Populist Party, but they didn't run a candidate.

    I voted for Jill Stein.

    (And at this point, I feel pretty good about it ... but if Romney wins I may end up questioning my own wisdom.)

    I considered Gary Johnson. He would have been a good choice, too.

    Gary Johnson for me, but I'd vote for her over either Obama or Romney if I had to.

    I'd like to see a Libertarian-Green coalition. If only our system of government were anywhere near to making that possible.

    Libertarians hold ideal and unique ideologies but the whole idea seems quite soulless, more so than the Republican party to remove all nets and Programs that benefit the USA

    It could be interesting, but I think that quite hard, because in some sectors they have absolutely opposite ideas. But they could arrive to agreements.
