The two parties keep others out. They don’t let them join the debates. They whole system is jacked up and both parties like it that way. You know the super pac stuff.
That is because you want to stay within the system. You want to have viable third parties? Then smash the system. Step one. Take every opportunity to not support either major party in anyway, shape or form. Support a third party! If you want to do it smart, start local. Gather like thinking people and take over a school board. Elect some town councilmen. Make sure they stay with the program. And you have to see it through. Not one election, not two, nor three but all of them, for however long it takes to build the party. Once you start with the small success the bigger ones will follow if you do it right. There are plenty of people dying to vote for a viable candidate or candidates that aren't same clown clones that perpetuate the criminal class in our city halls, state house and halls of Congress. You got to have thick skin though. You have to stick with our guys through the shit storm that the entrenched forces of the status quo will through at you. And if you can see it through there still is the final hurdle of getting your policies enacted and showing how they are beneficial. It's one thing to say it will work, (although Liberals seem stuck at this step but no one seems to call them on it) it has to work or believing in it benefits no one. All of this is something that takes time, effort and determination. It is not something that some "Powers that be" grant you out of the kindness of their hearts. Our Founding Fathers knew this, when in the course of human events there comes a time... Well, is it time yet or shall we sleepwalk through to our final rest?
