Once in a while there is a Libertarian candidate where one major party candidate is clearly better from a libertarian point of view, so that's pointless. But a lot of the time, both major party candidates are authoritarian knuckleheads and it's good to have a third option - even if there's no chance of winning, so that people don't feel completely shut out of the democratic process and can voice their protest with their vote.
The biggest obstacle for the LP right now is there's this division between whether it's more important to be ideologically pure or to have some electoral success, and that's something they haven't been able to reconcile.
