I agree. This is why I'm open to a viable third party
candidate. I've heard all the arguments against this:
you'd be throwing your vote away; you'd be only helping
the "other" party, etc. But the fact is that when a third
party candidate enters he -- even if he loses -- forces
the other parties to take notice and move their positions
closer to his. The two major parties would want to draw
as many votes as they can away from this candidate and
to do so would appeal as much as possible to his base -
i.e. be as close to his position as they can. So -- even
if the third party candidate loses, he "wins" by making
the other two take notice and move in his direction.
This has happened many times in American history.
Another good move to make them at least blink is to register as an Independent. As the number of 'party' members who wear blinders decreases they can't help but swallow hard.
"...viable third party candidate..." LoL such a thought is already dismissed.
