There's no need to tell people not to be "backseat drivers." I actually appreciate hearing people's outside perspective since America's political system is beginning to get more and more bloated and ineffective with time. Also, we've only had a two party system for less than a century because it is too hard for any third party candidates to win anything higer than a congressional seat (except for independant states like Vermont). But it hasn't always been this way and the country was better off when there was a chance for other parties to win. MrMonroe is so narrow minded that he only sees the two party system, so when he thinks of a third party, he only views them as being an upset for one of the two main parties and not a possibility for winning. That is exactly the problem we are discussing and Monroe has just proven why the two parties have our system on lock-down. Ahhh, sheeple.
