1% for a third-party is huge nowadays — ever since Ross Perot ran 3rd party,

BULLSQUAT! Perot received nearly 20% of the popular vote in 1992, including mine. There hasn't been a viable alternative party candidate since.

That helps explain at least some of the greater than 50% of eligible voters not-voting.

That is an admission on your part that there wasn't an alternative party candidate worth voting for. You must be content having the anti-American POS occupying the WH for another 4 years.

Hm, might have helped to read the rest of the sentence: ever since Ross Perot ran 3rd party, got a big chunk of the general vote, and the Big Two changed the rules so to undermine any 3rd party, that is.

Or, like I said: how many people believe that there are only two [viable] parties[?]

Nope, but then again I realize that I am utterly powerless and lack any sort of legitimacy (standing, they call it). [/bitter-sarcasm]
