@Jolie, well we have Green party, and then running as an independent candidate is always an option. The thing with USA socio political issues is that the issues are so black and white, that you are either on one side or the other. There is no third option, hence there is hardly a need for a third political party.

I don’t see it that way. The two party duopoly makes it difficult for others to get in. That’s why Sanders is running as a Democrat.

There are really no two sides in the two party system as is. Both parties like the following:

Wars
Big money
Low minimum wage
Hugh incarceration rates for blacks
Three strikes and you are out, where stealing a loaf of bread counts as a strike
Bailing out big banks
Weak on environment - consider support for fracking from Hillary the odds on favorite to be Democratic party
Media - which does not support liberal causes

Both parties are tow the right. There are no two sides. Only Right side. And extreme Right side.

Liberals such as Sanders are laughed off by the Moderates in the Democratic party.

How about them Moderates?
