in reply to I've watched the US Presidential Debates
Just once I'd just like to see a poll question along the lines of "if a third party candidate had a chance in hell of winning, then who would you vote for?"
We have only two bad options to choose between, but everyone knows it'll end up being one of them. Just wondering how many people just don't want to 'throw their vote away' on a third party candidate.
I'd be leaning toward libertarian myself.

DAMN
PLURALITY VOTING!
it does not have to be like this, but the "Major Parties"
don't want anything else because they can manipulate
pluralities so easily through their media ties.
imagine not having to "throw away your vote" on the
"lesser of two evils" while still being able to express your
relative approval of all candidates. oh, how i wish for an
electoral process in the U.S. that satisfies the
Condorcet
Criterion (i like
Tideman's method
in particular). alas!
