    What would instill The formation of new major political parties is how we elect our Pres. It needs to change.

    Having only 2 major parties with the Pres and VP on the same ticket sets the election up more like a sporting event rather than an election.

        So then you agree that we need to get rid of Shittizens United, Electro Fraud machines, media consolidation, and the DNC/RNC control of the debate process??

        Those of us who actually watched the debates between Rocky Anderson, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, and Virgil Goode got a much better picture of the REAL issues which should have been on the table, but were largely ignored in the so-called "debates" between Barry and Mittens.

        And while Virgil was pretty much useless and way out there in John Bircher fantasy camp land, the real surprise of this debate is how many things that Gary Johnson agreed with Rocky and Jill on. You know... those candidates that people like Brian would brand as "commie socialists"??

        Which isn't really surprising at all, because poll after poll on the issues proves that most Americans are actually LIBERAL in their views on the issues, regardless of what party they claim to support. Gary Johnson himself is only right wing when it comes to that ridiculous Ayn Rand economic bullshit which simply cannot and will not ever work in reality.

        So yeah, let's take all the corporate dragonshit out of it. Let's get back to counting paper ballots, let's get all the corporate money out of the electoral process, and by law, restrict campaign season to 6 months. Campaigns begin on April 1 of election year (insert jokes here) Restructure the primary and caucus schedule so there are 10 primaries/caucuses each week beginning the first weekend in May... with caucuses being held on Saturday evening to ensure largest availability for anyone who wants to participate, and in primary states, voting allowed all day Saturday from 7 AM to 9 PM.

        Nobody is declared the party nominee - officially or unofficially until the national convention. And no goddamn "superdelegates" either. Politiicians get one vote, just like everyone else.

        Debates go back to being hosted by the non partisan League of Women Voters. They will choose the moderators, and no questions or cheat sheets will be given to candidates ahead of time.

        How's that for a good start?
