Yeah I got Bernie Sanders and then Jill Stein who I didn't even know as running for President (I'll look into her!).
How can we get a viable third party up and running in this country?
Real question, I can't stomach voting this time around. .. .
Dont know it its possible, majority of people are so damn dumb they believe they HAVE to subscribe to one dem/repb
bernie is a third party candidate, he just is running with the dems this year. could even make the same argument from trump on the republican side. we will have a viable threat at the third party sooner than you think, especially with the rise of social media and sites like youtube, etc. its easier than it ever has been to spread ideas to the masses, communicate, donate money, etc
bernie is going to catch an L this year but its a win for people who will run third party in the future.
In addition how do they quantify the flip floppers?
Several candidates have had numerous stances on any one given issue....
not saying this is what you mean but i think we do have to give leeway to people. like you cant expect somebody to have the same beliefs they did when they were 18 or maybe not even that they had five years ago. people evolve. with that said, most politicians obviously change what their message just to get votes but this poll is just a facebook-esqe tool to get a vague idea of what you think, its not super scientific and shouldnt be taken as such
