This nation is set up with a two party system...that's it!

Only in a parliamentary system does a many party system work.We don't have a parliamentary system,so voting for fringe parties 1)sends NO message 2)doesn't do anything other than make YOU a spoiler 3)serves less than no purpose 4) gives aid and comfort to the party you least want in control.

Faced with the hard,stone cold fact that a vote for a fringe party candidate gives your vote to one of the two major parties,reaped an inarticulate,childish,erroneous BS from you.It's long past time that you wake up and face the fact that that's true.The only BS,is your position.

The fact may be that there are only two major partys today that have a chance of winning nationwide, perhaps even statewide, elections but that is the fault of the voters.
If you vote, period, you have done your civic duty.
It is not a wasted vote, it is not an unpatriotic vote no matter who you vote for, it is not a vote that is thrown away.

Carp all you want about fringe partys, the fact is that they CAN be spoilers and the major partys know that it can happen.
