The fact that 3rd party candidates are never able to actually get on the ballot in every state shows you something is terribly wrong with our system.

Wait. Hold on. So independent candidates need 900,000 signatures while major parties need only 25k? How is such a double standard legal? Whatever laws there are putting these in place really need to be challenged and brought before the supreme court. Such a double standard and restriction for getting on the ballot is not "For the people, by the people."

The idea of not voting 3rd party because they won't win is pretty funny if you think about it. It's like they think they are placing bets or something.

Winner-takes-all must go, then you will see third parties flourish.

People get pissed when you even talk about third parties, it's ridiculous. I am going to keep voting third party with no expectation of ever voting in a winner.

Wow, great interview!! I am independant. It makes it difficult when you only have two options, which boil down to the "lesser of the two evils: which is rediculous in this day in age!
