32. The only way a third party will be viable
...in this country is if we change the way we vote.

Our current election system practically demands a two party system. With three (or more) parties, the candidates with the most popular ideas will usually split the vote.

The Greens have some great ideas, but this upcoming election is way too important. To paraphrase: we absolutely need to hang together, or we will hang separately. Defeating Bush is more important than anything, and I'm willing to swallow a bitter pill just to get rid of this man.
