BS, support yourself or admit you just made stuff up. I know nobody that believe that BS, right or left. If 40% of 1/3 of the country believed that stuff, you'd be looking at 40 million people...

9/11 truthers are mostly Ron Paul's people. Black helicopters, NWO, NAFTA highway, and all that.

I don't think we should stand for having only TWO candidates for over 300 million people.
The system DOES serve it's function, and it is doing so just fine. Additionally, there are more than two candidates running for election; there always are a handful of independents, Libertarians, Greens, and any number of small parties that all have their guy on the ballot.
The fact is: a 2-party system works the best by the way our Constitution is set up. A 3rd party can be, and has been successful in the past, but none has ever become an established entity in our system for long. The way Americans prefer to do it is to incorporate a successful 3rd party run into one of the major parties.
The major parties have all morphed over time to suit their constituencies, and both have been either conservative or liberal or populist in the past.

That you see this as being a flaw is only a sign of your disappointment in having a candidate that suits your own personal political thoughts. There's nothing new in this- both parties have had candidates that have been like that.

That, too, is a sign our system works. The parties eventually have righted themselves after tipping over in the ditch, time after time. Our system is a rough and tumble thing, but so far, it has served the longest lasting democracy on the planet pretty darned well.
