Sentiments like this have been effecting a large segment of the population for years. Yep. But fewer people vote for third parties than ever before, and the presidential election in 2004 had the highest turnout, ever.
So, go figure.

One reason may have been that so much was at stake. We had a major party candidate that openly admitted committing sedation, who was proven to be a self aggrandizing liar (even more so than most politicians), may have committed treason (seems he did, but not proven), and was proud to be a back stabber.
For some unknown reason he appealed to a lot of people – but fortunately for the USA, not enough.
