As you all may have noticed, my main point here is to make the elections more accessible to third parties. If Libs, Greens, and hell, even Populists become a real threat, it would shake up the demicans and republicrats enough that, in order to salvage their constituency, they might have to resort to having strong views and feelings on political issues. This pandering to the most middle-of-the road, pussy candidate really bothers me, and I think that as long as it continues, the system is not healthy.
