    I cannot stand the 2 party system. It is complete BS, and it remains this way because the majority of people will only vote for one of those two because they feel those are the only two that have a chance. If you like Trump or you like Clinton - fine, vote that way. But I implore everyone....please, please, please do not vote for "the lesser of two evils" in your mind. Vote for the best candidate of the 4, because if everyone did vote that way this year, i have no doubt Johnson or Stein would win.

    I'm in Indiana too. I know what Mike Pence is all about. I have seious dislike for that Klanish hater of the poor, of the old, of the sick, of the disabled, and hater of the homeless.

    If someone like perot or nadir was running this year instead of back in the day they would have a chance to get the most votes. But the third party people running now just don't have the recognition needed .

    Pence is horrible. Good thing, though, is now he can't be governor again.

    No third party candidate is ever going to win. It's just not going to happen.

    Sad but you are right. It's a sad state the nation is in, when the majority of the people do not get proper represenatative government. Special interest groups have it all to them selves these days. If you have a hundred million like Addelson, you can buy Newt Gingrich just like he did.

    and why is that? Because people won't vote for them, because they think they can't win. I love how everyone thinks that their ONE SINGLE vote matters if it's between the 2 major parties, but it doesn't if they vote for a 3rd party. One thing I learned a long time ago working many years in the service industry is that the American public are full of morons.

    Voting for anyone is pointless, because anyone that would do the right thing would not even be allowed near the Oval Office. America is not a Democracy or a Republic. They give you the illusion of choice by holding presidential elections every four years. The truth is, the American people don't elect a president. The monied interests which run the country SELECT the president. Third parties exist simply to appease those fed up with the two-party system, but anyone with half a brain knows that no third party candidate will ever win because the entire process is rigged. I don't partake in rigged, phony elections because I don't believe it matters. No one person is going to change the course in which this country is headed. The morons are the ones who think pulling a lever is going to change things for the better. Regardless of who is elected and what party they belong to, the underlying agenda never changes.

    We have that kind of, doesnt work, everytime that third party/parties gets too many seats you just get a hung parliament and no one can change shit


    Used to be the Democrats, nothing like your Democrats until everyone realised they were just socialists

    Then the Greens, until everyone realised no one actually gives a shit about climate change

    And now One Nation, imagine the Klu Klux Klan, but the smartest person, the leader, her sum total political experience is she used to own a fish and chip shop
