Seriously now, 3rd options?

Hey guys,

Is there an actual third option, with half a chance? The way it looks now, there isn't.

Half a chance of what?

A candidate or party does not have to win the election in order to cause change. Many ideas for change have come from third parties and were later adopted by the Democrats and/or Republicans.

For example, most of FDR's "New Deal" including minimum wage and social security were originally propsed by the American Socialist Party more than a decade earlier.

A more recent example of a third party candidate having a big effect on the issues is when Ross Perot ran for president, and made the national debt. a major issue.

Just because they do not win does not mean they do not have influence. The more votes they get, the more influence they will have. So vote for the candidate you like rather than voting for who you think may win.

One of the few items E and I agree fully on.
