    The problem isn’t that “no one” supports them, it’s that the system disallows more than two possibilities at a time. That the main sources of those two possibilities have a stranglehold on the elective process.

    It doesn’t help that people often see the presidential election as the only one that matters. Other candidates generally have a much better chance at state and local levels. Which is generally where that elective power is seated. Take that power and suddenly your options increase dramatically.

      You aren’t wrong, but the time to fix these problems isn’t the presidential election. Ya it sucks our options aren’t ideal, but pick the better option when that’s the only choice you have, and when it’s not decision time fight to change the decision making system.
