That's what you get when you stick with a voting system that has been obsolete for a century.

Well, this is why I've voted third party for every election I've ever participated in.

That’s not going to work, but at least you’re sticking to your principles. We need to abolish political parties altogether. I’ve been trying to get traction on this for years with no luck.

Us third party voters need to work together for change to the voting system, no matter how different our politics might be from one another. In fact, us working together despite our different politics would underline our point: democracy is about everyone having their say, not about agreement.

Im not entirely confident 3rd party will do anything of substance. I’m still in favor of banning all political parties but I am willing to concede I may be wrong.
