a great argument for a legitimate third party
Too bad there wasn't a good 3rd party canidate out there.
im sure there are many great candidates out there. they just dont have the exposure and financial backing to break into the mainstream.
before you ask, i have no idea who they are, but i am not cynical enough yet to believe there are only people out there who are looking to enrich themselves and maintain the status quo
The problem is that in order to get known you need big bucks. The people giving the big bucks have an agenda. Therefore, before someone is even elected, they're already the servants of the status quo. SUPPORT PUBLIC FINANCING OF ELECTIONS. If we're the ones paying, they just might listen to us instead of the special interests.
