Being scared isn't a solution.
Why not offer one?
Biden promised to unite the country, but had no plan.
Why not back one?

Wm.sonStart us off, Rand. What should we do? I mean is the message wrong and you disagree with it, or is it the messenger?
Do you have something to gain, should trump win?
@Sfwmson @popcornreel
Should Trump win, we all have a lot to lose. Between gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement, and the court supporting disenfranchisement and executive immunity, we've lost a lot already.
The problem is political parties. The Constitution was never designed to withstand them. The founders thought they wouldn't form soon, certainly not take over, but they did. And no one ever tried to figure out why.
No room here. See PeopleCount.org/hi.htm

I agree, but here we are. I tell my one libertarian friend that it's not MY job to make a third or fourth party viable here. It's their job to earn my support. When I see ideas that I agree with and which I feel would better my nation, I accept them and push the big parties to recognize the item.
The two parties have cornered the market so to speak, right? It is the fault of the voters and the two parties (who work to exclude any others.)
I have voted third party before usually locally, but once for Perot. There's just waaaay too much to lose this time.
@Sfwmson @popcornreel Parties are a symptom of the problem, not the cause. It is very easy to place blame, like on the parties, both for misbehaving as well as for obstructing changes that would make 3rd parties viable. It's much harder to see the cause. America's founders intended for parties to NOT form, at least for a while, and to be weak if they formed. But they formed right away! Worse, it seems poli sci never figured out why. That is, how to make them obsolete/not-needed.
