Why does Nadar crawl out of a rock every four years?
If he wants to be useful, I have a better idea for him: fight for a law that would require a candidate to secure fifty percent of the vote in order to be president.
He would make the ground more fertile for politicians like himself who justifiably find the current duopoly insufficient.
Until victory requires a majority, a third party candidate will always do the most damage to the opponent with whom they share the most values.
Watching Congress these passed two years highlights our need for more competition in this place. I am so tired of watching a bunch of spineless turkeys who don't have to be anything other than "not republican" to secure the progressive vote. This binary system stinks.
Wouldn't it be nice to have two anti-establishment candidates to choose from without fear of peeling votes? All we need are ranked ballots and an instant run off.
