    No, it is because of the candidates themselves. People just are just not buying their BS.

    Nice blanket dismissal. How many people do you think know of the existence of the Cons ution Party?

    None of them do because there are whole legions such as yourself that discount them out of hand and thereby just cede power to the establishment.

    It has nothing to do with me, tbh. The problem here is that 90% or so of the population either don't care at all about the system or are proud team players.

    The difference here is that I accept reality for what it is, and understand that the only way to change this system will come from within the system.

    You are one of the millions. The more people that support a more plural system, the more people will bandwagon along. That is the nature of humans: too many of us do not think for ourselves. The trend is a realty as well. Go to Pew Research's site and look up their polls in terms of party affiliation. There are fewer people that identify with either party than ever before. Generation Y is leading the charge in that respect and they are going to be around for quite some time.

    Truth bombs... the Boomers are the only ones keeping this 2-party system in place because both parties just promise them every handout in the world....

    The problem with this country is there's a lot more ignorant people than smart people. Note that i didn't say stupid but ignorant. They get their ideas spoonfed to them because it's easier than actually learning on their own.

    Changing this system requires extraordinary power. You'll get a more plural system when there's term limits, when money is taken away from politics, etc. They're all changes that have to come from the system itself.

    that'd be a good first step... which we had. unfortunately it was destroyed by Citizens United.

    But if change is gonna come, that's the way it's gonna happen.

    Americans rely on Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Anderson Cooper, and Lawrence O'Donnell for their information. It's sad but true. Most Americans are ignorant when it comes to politics. They are either on a bandwagon of a party or just go with the flow like a sheep.
