Roosevelt ran on an alternative party platform, and he won. That was at one of the heights of money in politics! With Carnegie and all of them! Stop saying the alternatives can never win. They already have in the past and they can today. If you did not listen to the fake poll's on the Mainstream media that are specifically designed to make you think that it does not matter they would win. one thing that apparently doesn't come to mind when you are watching straight from the mouthpiece of the government the Mainstream media, is that they are allowed to lie to you. so maybe next time do not listen to the MSM's Fake numbers and vote the way that you wish. Mainstream media are all that is the snake oil salesmen of OUR time.Do not forget though that if you are not diligent as a citizen to make sure that others that pop up in alternative party platforms answer questions briefly and appropriately and do not lobby the crowd and are not corrupt then you will see corruption even in alternative party's. because now the alternative party's are a target for the corrupt system and party's, just by existing. Especially because of popularity though. It will attract the corrupt like flies.
