Until a 3rd party reaches that point, it's just not gonna happen. Both the GOP and DNC are imperfect, but they have a coalition of power and that's one reason for example I support the GOP.
Yeah, but I'd just as soon "waste" my vote on a third party candidate than waste it on one of the two clowns offered up by the establishment parties. Hell, I'd sooner waste my vote by not casting it than give it to an unworthy candidate. I've allowed myself to be fooled into this fallacious "either/or" choice one too many times. I don't ask for perfection out of the candidates I vote for, but at the minimum they need a platform I can mostly agree with, regardless of how feasible that platform may be.
