Hilary needs to win,,, the candidate that especially loves nuclear war is sure to get us into one with his impulsive narcissistic mouth,,,

It is rigged… It is rigged FOR the two party system. It is a tyranny of two parties, and they have made the rules such that no third party can stand up against it… I think that our current system is making a mockery of democracy.
I am a libertarian, an active one who is part of the Libertarian Party of Virginia. I do not represent either of the two major parties. The system is RIGGED against third parties. Let me explain… The two major parties have access to federal funds for elections from the Federal Election Commission, this is public taxpayer money which is provided to the two major parties to pay for campaigns. This money totals millions of dollars.
http://www.fec.gov/press/bkgnd/fund.shtml
However, these funds are distributed primarily among the two major parties. Third parties DO NOT have access to this money. They have very obscure rules that have to be met in order for third parties to gain access to this for funding their campaigns. This automatically provides a massive advantage to the two major parties.
Also, third party candidates are not always included on the ballot in every state. The rules for having a third party candidate on the state ballot is very unclear and inconsistent. Therefore, it effectively limits people’s voting options.
Furthermore, in order to be in the presidential debates a third party candidate has to be polling above 15% in 5 major polls. These polls have to be in a specific timespan from after Labor Day to well before the first debate. Some of these polls DO NOT EVEN INCLUDE third party candidates. Third party candidates are shut out from presenting their ideas in a debate forum against the two major parties. This is undemocratic. America is formed of many people with different ideas, we should have our government be more representative of this and allow different political parties, and thus different political ideologies, into the debates.

The two parties have each fielded candidates who are the most unpopular in history. People seem to be picking for the lesser of two evils. Neither party seems to be actually fixing America’s problems. Furthermore, the two party system is polarizing America and creating a hostile political environment where bi-partisanship is the rule, not the exception.
So it is rigged. The two parties are going to keep their stranglehold on American politics, and keep any other possibilities from presenting any challenge. How can America claim to be a representative democracy when it represents ONLY two polarized ideologies and unwilling to let any other ideas be represented?

The elections have been rigged since the founding of political parties.

The best evidence is the network bias of the corporate sponsored media to a 2 party system. They own the media networks, control the debates and exposures, the polling stats, and what you hear or see about a candidate in the media to base an opinion on.

With citizens united and unlimited cash flowing to the campaigns from corporations controlling the narrative for one candidate or the other of the two parties, and a third party unable to play in this over priced political arena, it can't be considered anything but rigged!

Sure, we are given a choice, but our choices are selected for us. One party or the other, never allowing anyone outside the 2 party system the ability to be seen or heard (due to the price of admission to media coverage).

Case in point..... look what the DNC did to Sanders (an Independent running on the Dem ticket) and the RNC did to Ron Paul (a Libratarian running on the Rep ticket)

And then there are the electoral colleges..... either Rep or Dem.... but they are non-partisan laugh

And they wonder why people stay home




Sorry for the double post...
Thank you for giving me another point that I missed.

The electoral college is either Republican or Democrat... They discourage third parties and reinforces the two party system.

This election... I will do as every election previous... I will not vote Democrat or Republican. I will vote NO CONFIDENCE in the two party system. I will vote third party.
