The only way that a third party can gain popularity is to start small. At the age of 20, I will be registering to run for local office as a Libertarian. I will be speaking to local residents about real issues that affect them, because I will only be representig a small group of people in a small town. If I can build up trust in the Libertarian party as a viable alternative to the mudslinging an dpartisan bickering of the two big parites, and earn the trust of enough people that they allow me to represent them, then I can move up yo higher office when people spread the word about what I did for them. If I could get enough people to support me, and to agree that a Libertarian candidate would do a good job of running our country, a significant number of people might actually vote for our candidate. If we could get a significant number to vote in a small area, it could be built up from there.
