i think having a third party would have some positive effects on our electoral system... but as i've heard people from other countries who have 3 or more major parties say, one more party doesn't end the social engineering or cut down on corruption.
the problem isn't with the republicans or the democrats, the answer isn't in the greens or the libertarians. the problem is the people who desire power at any cost. the most effective fight against this damaging force to our republic is for every voter to reward integrity when it is demonstrated by an elected official and punish those who play dirty pool.
when enough of us are informed on the political climate to recognize fraud and when we have the solidarity to vote accordingly... that is when we'll see some genuine positive change.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
