I do think that having a viable third party would be a huge step in the right direction for this country
I agree. Did you hear Jill Stein got arrested at the debate the other night? She was tied to a chair with plastic cuffs on for an extended period. Nicely done, security people.
A friend of mine is convinced that the only way we can get a real 3rd-party candidacy going in this country is if we institute... [pause for effect] ... preferential voting.
I do think that having a viable third party would be a huge step in the right direction for this country. Also, abolishing the electoral college, which IMO makes a lot of people feel like their vote doesn't matter.
I'm torn on this because the only reason I feel comfortable voting for a third party (with no chance of winning) is that I live in a state 100% guaranteed to go for Obama. There is no chance I could give Romney an edge by voting for Jill Stein.
If the electoral college goes away, so does the concept of a swing state, and so any vote for a nonviable candidate is effectively a vote for (in my case) the GOP, which I refuse to do.
I miss having friends where I live. like close friends.
Me tooooooo.
it's why we both need more pets. IAMJUSTSAYING!
I have never found cats to be that useful in making friends?

Yeah, I agree with that.
ION, look at the Neiman Marcus + Target holiday collections!!! [link] They apparently come out 12/1, which is a Saturday, which probably means I can order online at midnight, as opposed to trying to go to the store when it opens.

True, true. So first we establish a viable third party, and THEN we abolish the electoral college. And then we install fact-checkers at all debates and overturn Citizens United. Who's with me??
