I think part of the problem is the two party system. It isn't official, but de facto that's how it is. There's a need to change that.
there are more than two candidates in every race, just nobody votes for them.
I wonder how much of that is being obsessed with picking a candidate who will win rather than voting for someone who at least somewhat stands for what you believe in.
Of course knowing what a candidate is all about without doing in-depth research is rather difficult since the majority of candidates will respond to questions with a mind numbing meaningless political bla bla instead of saying what they really believe.
well usually the third party people are no more middle of the road than the other two, usually they are pretty far out on the left, like, way out there.
I implore all of you to visit this site. It gives you an overall view of my political affiliation, which is Libertarian. For the onles who are lazy, a Libertarian believes in the principals and beliefs written in the American Constitution. Libertarians are also knows as "Jeffersonians" and "Constitutionalists".
And I am a great admirer of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Winston Churchill and Milton Friedman.
So there is a good, well established third party here in the United States...a political movement that is trying, millimeter by millimeter, to bring back the country to how it was founded, the ideas that were supremely radical 330 years ago; free enterprise, limited government, and peace through trade.
