I'd be very happy to see the Libertarians get at least 5% of the vote to receive FEC matching funds
Johnson did great things for NM but he really needs to drop the act that he is actually running for president. At least McAffee had the correct platform a 3rd party should have this cycle: "do not vote for me I am running to talk issues only" All Johnson can do is take away votes from Trump and Hillary. Then the scammers can tell us Trump lost by a little while the voter machines rig the hackathon for Hillary. They both have almost identical platforms except in a few areas and so there is no point since Trump is willing to adapt to the people's will. Trump is our manager. Trump can do the job. We do not need a 3rd rail this time around.
So we should continue the two-party system...
Who cares about the parties. We do not have a 2 party system anyway. This year it is 1) vote for Trump and we remove cancer from government and reboot or 2) More of the same failed government snakes. But we should keep it down to 2 people yes. The round before this had
lots of people and it was weeded down to 2 now more people getting introduced is fuck all. What has a third party ever done for a presidential election except totally fuck it up?
Or in the alternative get rid of the party primaries and let the candidates all compete in rounds leading up to the final choices like the primaries but not monopolized by a "party".
Pretty ignorant statement. You don't even see the difference between
candidates &
parties in your rant. "Lots of people" does not equal "lots of
parties," which WOULD constitute a democracy.
I'll tell you about a Third Party. The WHIG Party. Abraham Lincoln got into politics via the WHIG PARTY.
I respectfully disagree that parties make it a democracy. You can have a democracy without the party system is my understanding. Therefore I will suggest your statement is the one that is ignorant since you do not see that a democracy was never depending on parties to exist and sustain them. for reference I will include a link to Wikipedia, nowhere in their definition of democracy do I find the mention of parties being a functional component necessary to operate or any mention at all for that matter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DemocracyAnd the Whig party of Lincoln started as an omage to the Whigs that were the founders party during the revolution (because of the White whigs they wore). And by the time Lincoln won with the Whig party they were one of the top 2 parties in the USA since the the federalist party was seen as too central to be supported by the people at this time who did not favor a strong central bank so it was dead by 1814-1828. In fact the Whig party that Lincoln came from was essentially a split in the republican party which was called the "democrat-republican party" at the time. And so no the Whig party was not a 3rd party at the time with Lincoln in my opinion. And also nowhere in the constitution does it say anything about a party system. And when the USA started there were no political parties at all any where in the world. Yes however it was only a few years before the politicians in USA began devising various systems to popularize the vote for their benefit.
Your wrong the more parties the more democracy..
The trouble is big money people paying for favours off politicians..
Now the best way to sort the problem out is you can only donate 25 dollars max to a party of your choice then no big donors to influence a politician
..
The more choice out there the more democracy..
Listen to all the parties then pick one that you think will make your life better..
This is why your 2 party system is a joke..

Both use tax payers money for their own benefits not for the people but for their own family and friends while you and i get looked at like SHEEP..

A 2 party system become one
..Why fight when we can share the taxes between us both
plus all the government contracts which is the biggest money maker
..
10 parties all 25 dollar donations then it becomes more democratic
..
Why would i give a million dollars to a party?..
Now if they don't do what i ask when it comes to the next term in office do you think i will give a million again if i got no favours?..ALL ABOUT THE MONEY..
