39. There are no 3rd parties in the
US because we have no mechanism for them to be recognized. We are winner take all and if you aren't the winner, you're fucked. Surely the last 8 years taught you that.

If we had a parliamentary system or run-offs or some other means for a 3rd party to get their toe in the door, that would be great. As it is now most voters feel alienated because the religious right controls the rethuglicans and the dlc keeps dragging the Democrats to the right.
