Actually, in reality, there are only the two. And the differences between the two are for the most part, inconsequential. One day, when enough people get fed up, there will be another.

With due respect, it would need more than enough people being "fed up" to allow a minority party's candidate to gain the presidency. The main reason that third, fourth, fifth, etc. parties don't get off the ground is because loyalists of the major parties rightly fear that supporting a splinter party will only ensure that the candidate and party they loathe gain control. The Perot example leaps to mind. He got 19% of the popular vote and there is no question in my mind that he sent Clinton to the White House.

You'll never live to see that day because 90% of Americans do see a difference between the parties.

So say the Greens, the Libertarians, the Socialists, and apparently now the Know-Nothings.
