what year was the last non R or D elected preisdent, jlew?
answer: 1850
if you think any other party has as an equal shot like the corporate duopoly maybe you should read up on the commission on presidential debates, especially the book 'No Debate' where the people who run it admit they only care to push the agendas of the 2 major parties and 3rd parties just get in the way of things
how does this make our society any less free? EVERYONE has a voice. just because you dont like the outcome, doesnt mean we are not living in freedom.
almost all of people's values, social, ad political beliefs can be summed up with democratic or republican. so what? third party candidates have a very loud voice. they just happen to be in the minority.
you said they all have a chance and that is just not true, the very people who control the presidential debates state they are only concerned with pushing the agenda of the 2 major parties and everyone else just gets in the way of that.....not sure how they have an equal shot, as you claim, with this going on, kinda hard for them to get a lot of support when they are prevented from being in the debates and most media coverage is to make them look crazy. like when stepananpolous or whatever his name is, when he interviewed people during the primaries he was all nice and respectful to the major candidates but ones like Paul, Kucinich, Gravel....he constatnly asked questions like 'you know you can't possibly win, don't you???'
they absolutely have the same chance as anyone else. you know what they need? support of the American voter. and right now, third party candidates just dont have it. we are still the most free country on earth. now stop derailing this thread. if you want to discuss the American electoral process, make a new thread. I'll be happy to discuss it with you. ok?
