:what: all her funds come from donations. Don't get mad at us because the millennials don't wanna fukk with Clinton.
Third party candidates in our current system aren't worth bothering with. Ross Perot got almost 20% of the popular vote in the whole country and didn't get a single electoral vote. At best these third party candidates siphon off enough votes to swing a state in favor of the major party candidate they're ideologically furthest from.

Our presidential voting system doesn't even support 3 or more parties. With that many parties dividing the vote nobody would get to 270 electoral votes and the senate and house would just pick the president and vice president.

Jill Stein is just going through the motions. She has no chance of winning.

It's not about winning :snoop: TBH, we want over 5% for 2020 funding and to make a viable 3rd party. Same with thee Libertarian Party.

Because 20% over the entire US population doesn't matter when electoral votes are gained by winning a state's popular vote.

This again is why Democrats fail to understand that citing studies that 60% of Americans are for common sense gun laws doesn't matter if that 60% doesn't represent the majority needed to pass a gun bill.

There isn't going to be a viable 3rd party. The system doesn't support that. Our country's election system is tested and proven to produce 2 dominate parties.

For there to be more people would have to start voting for the candidates they're most aligned with which won't happen because then minority rule would kick and most people would be left with a candidate they are dissatisfied with winning.

For 3 or more parties to work we'd have to switch from first past the post to a two round system where there's an initial election then if the candidates cross a certain threshold they can participate in a second election. That way people could vote for their actual choices instead of voting against who they don't want to win.

This isn't going to happen.

It needs to happen because people are sick of the 2 parties. That's not fukking democracy. I'll never vote Democrat again in my life. There's 43% of Independents for a reason. BOTH of the two parties are ass. People need to petition for the law do be amended

When the foxes guard the hen house the only things that change are what the foxes allow. The system serves the people in it thus the system wont change. The masses are too ignorant to change it.

The masses are too ignorant because the corporate funded media makes them view their government in one way. It's like a drug, but people are now waking up. Especially, the new millennials. I love my country, but I want a government that works for all not just thee 1%.
