I'm not US, I don't support any US president, and the only candidate I would sincerely (rather than tactically) support is Vermin Supreme.

and I mean that sincerely, Vermin is well-read and principled despite their culture jamming.

I understand that the US national voting system is fundamentally broken (FPTP) so I can understand someone tactically voting for the Democrat Party simply to avoid a Republican Party candidate. But this shouldn't be mistaken for support nor approval.

They're not a right-libertarian, no. They're an anarchist, I recall them talk about Kropotkin being a huge influence in interviews.

If you're talking about the Libertarian Party, they have a socialist caucus. In fact, socialists called themselves libertarians long before US capitalists did. [more info, second paragraph] But also, see Jerbil's reply about constantly switching political parties, I certainly wouldn't take their party association as endorsement.
