The problem with third parties isn't the third parties themselves. It's politics, specifically our One Vote One Candidate system.

When I vote for Nadar/Perot/ChickenLittle I effectively vote NO on all other candidates. That's what Americans have been raised and taught to accept.

But if we allow multiple choices per voter, like this:

1st choice: Elmer Fudd
2nd choice: Ralph Nadar
3rd choice: Russ Fiengold

Third parties instantly become viable.

Because our uniparty system values their power this will NEVER happen. Even though it would be good for our government.
