No. Two parties are not enough to reflect the variety of people and ideas throughout the U.S. We need to redo our system of voting from the way we cast our ballots all the way to getting rid of the electoral college. Messy messy! I know but the two largest parties are falling into a black hole of sameness when we most need other ideas, energy and momentum!

randomthought's assertion that: "In most other countries there are two centrist parties and multiple fringe parties which exert influence disproportional to their strength" reflects the triumph of ideology over reality; the assertion is simply not true. Most democracies have more than two major parties. Americans worship the two-party system and cannot admit that other countries manage successful governments with many parties.

we need a happy middle thats not just a small 3rd party that can hardly compete, but a major party that can statisfy the moderate thinker.

This is going to be a sad year for this country, this is the year the world gets to see just how ignorant and bigoted we are. As much as Americans are screaming for change, and demanding a new direction, Yet vote the same TRASH back in office. Watching the primaries, and debates, it's simple to see the "good ole american" pride coming through. In the end, these back woods ignorant people will refuse to vote in a Woman or a Black man to office. So whats that leave us? An idiot, and a Nazi. Hopefully we'll get the idiot, the last one screwed everything up, but atleast he didn't abliterate an entire culture (Tried, but didn't succeed.)

Well said dellas34. Too bad the "ME" party didn't get enough votes in the last election so they won't let you debate.

Here's what I think:

I, (insert name), am running for president. I'm running in the "ME" party. I have my own views and beliefs on running this country and making this the greatest country in the world. I don't need a name to label my status on America's issues. Listen to my speeches, debates, and answers and decide that you want "ME" as president of the United States of America, but whatever you do, don't vote for me based on whether I'm an elephant or a donkey.

Parties are irrelevant when elections are fraudulent. Politics in the U.S. are now a show like pro wrestling. The real players are the people the run our country,Private military contractors. ES&S Lockheed Martin anyone? Media is military, elections are military.USA = crypto fascist pmc dictatorship.

In most other countries there are two centrist parties and multiple fringe parties which exert influence disproportional to their strength. They become the king makers.

I feel isolated by both parties. I do not approve of the "nanny state" approach of mainstream Democrats and I am fearful of Christian Fundamentalism. We need a centrist party, not just centrist candidates who constantly fail to win primaries.
