People are disenchanted with both parties and candidates. . Wheres the 3rd party voice at this point in time? If there was a time to vote 3rd party this is it.

Why stop at three? Three is an awkward number in politics.

Libertarianism is a fantasy, so that won't work in the long run. I think it is time for a new Conservative party, with the understanding that the emphasis is on fiscal conservatism. The concept has been badly abused by the Republicans of late.

I think we would all benefit by a more parliamentary form of government, with multiple parties. The way our system is currently the two largest parties have a lock on the power. In congressional committee membership and leadership is divided between the two dominant parties. They are unlikely to welcome or assist in reform of the system.

I have voted for 3rd party candidates for 5 of the last 7 presidential elections. Mainly because I could without my vote being a spoiler.

If you really want to see 3rd parties rise, vote for them in lower offices. They actually have a chance of winning, can build their experience, build the "brand" of their party, and in the future have a better chance of winning higher offices.

This election is the least worthy time for someone to be voting 3rd party. This year, too much is at stake.

What are you proposing would be a candidate that both liberal communists (Biden supporters) and americans (Trump supporters) would support?
