Gov Johnson, for the good of the Country, you need to bow out.

We should have several legitimate parties in this country, but so many are poorly educated about the voting system.

I'm stunned!
We actually agree on something here.
And how do you propose we change the electoral college?

Got to get enough third party candidates into office to have a chance in heck of actually changing it, and yes I realize how tough thats going to be.

Kind of which is the cart and which is the horse question...but we know republicans and democrats love the current system.

Yes they do.
I think that's what rattled the GOP with Trump. He has plenty of $$$,
charisma, and following, that they dared not accept him into the fold.
They didn't want to see him run as an Independent (he did threaten to do so).
Trump may still, after becoming POTUS, change to an Independent.
Then it will become interesting if Ron Paul runs as his VP for Trump II.

Change the election voting system to instant run off instead of first past the post.

Remove the CPD or reduce the polling requirement to 5%.

Make it easier for third parties to get ballot access.

Why? So that not even the tiny voice of reason, the percentage of Americans that would rather cut their skin off and jump into a bath full of lime juice, than vote either Trump or Hilary, have ANY choice at all?

What sort of monster would force such a choice on free people?

One of my co-workers once described our current choice on the monster DNC/GOP system as either cleaning up parasitic diarrhea dog poo or solid dog poo from the carpet. If I had too, I would rather clean up the solid dog poo than live with parasitic diarrhea dog poo for the next 4 years. Johnson has no way of winning, and currently, does NOT have the money to purchase a political fighting team to get him into The White house. By bowing out, he would at least provide the country a fighting chance of not having the former listed monster.

It's not him.

It's the idiots willing to vote for him, that are the problem. lol.
