Do we REALLY have a choice when it comes to electing a president?
Sad to say it, but IMO the last hurrah for a viable nth party was Perot's bid in 1992. And a respectable bid it was; 19% popular vote in an election with a winner at 43%. But Perot had big money and an energetic constituency, something lacking with today's alternative parties.
We need radical campaign reform, much like we need term limits. Unfortunately, the inmates currently in charge of the asylum have no reason to change what serves them so well.
And as usual, We The People have the choice of the greater of two lessers.
