Political Party Quiz

However, by your rationale, if everyone just voted third party instead of watching campaign ads, couldn't we strike down the tyranny even sooner?  

A prime example of this is the past gubernatorial races in my state.  I can't count the times I heard, "I wish they would have given Gatewood a shot" (an independent candidate extraordinaire), or "I voted for Gatewood".  It seems that had these folks actually cast those votes, the outcome may have been quite different.  If everyone who said "I'd vote for so and so, but they don't stand a chance" would just vote for so and so.....what would happen?

I'm right there with you, and I am forever trying to recruit people on this. I mean, think about the approval rating of Congress, yet how many incumbents are reelected? It's because people are having the attitude of "what can ya do?" In reality, the answer is a lot. Vote your actual favorite and spread the word for others to as well. Maybe, just maybe, we will make some traction to break down the "duopoly" which is more like a monopoly.
