Reply #26: The two parties we have don't like anyone horning in on their action. [View All]

God forbid they actually point out the corporate support that keeps them free from challenges by any third party. Third parties may not win elections, although debate exposure did the trick for Ventura, they do bring important ideas to the table for discussion that are ignored by the two corporately well funded parties that now control most MSM. That kind of control is stifling for voters.

The two major parties made sure the bar was high enough that no third party could qualify to debate even though the majority of the electorate wanted third party participation in 2000. Both parties together pushed the league of women voters out of handling debates way back in 1988 in favor of strictly controlled corporate sponsored staged events.

People will eventually stop voting for the lesser of two evils especially when the lesser is not that much different policy wise. Either that or they will just stop voting.
