It's unlikely for a third party to ever be voted into office. So people make a choice between a douche and a turd deciding the lesser of two evils because it's the only shot they have to put someone in that could have their interests in mind. I wish I knew why we became essentially a 2 party system, but we are. I'm 3rd party too and it's a struggle.

It's a matter of circumstance or choice by an occurrence. Similar to rituals rules customs etc. You're born into it. Its around you and what you know and feel comfortable with. Dont know no better. It's a self conscious choice.

I guess it was to give people a choice on candidates.
But, now people seem to vote only for the party of the person and not for what the person stands for.

Thank you for the MHO!

The American system doesn't support third party candidates.
You need a parliamentary system for that.

I always vote Republican.
