I agree, but its shameful that we are put in this predicament. More Americans would vote 3rd party as a second or even 1st choice, if they werent afraid of completely wasting their vote because they had to vote against a horrible incumbent.

Heres another Link
This topic is debated here in Volconvo: Australian Electoral System: Dont we deserve this?

Maybe Badnarik or some Senator like Waxman or Ron Paul could work on pushing this through Congress. This may be the best (only?) way to get a 3rd party in The White House
