It was your tongue in cheek "vote for Gary Johnson so my candidate will 
win" crap that I was commenting on.  That is what I consider to be part 
of the problem.  I'm sorry you disagree.

In my opinion, breaking the two-party stranglehold on the political system is one of the best things we could do for this country.  It would do wonders to break the polarisation of our citizenship that is causing a lot of harm, it would mean that certain issues that both parties currently in power agree upon would have to be re-evaluated if third parties were stronger in elections (to avoid losing votes to those third-party candidates), and it would force a multidimensional look at political topics instead of trying to shoe-horn everything into one axis, liberal or conservative.
