PressTV... US Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson says Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton and Republican ticket Donald Trump are political “dinosaurs" and vows to dismantle America’s two-party political system. In an interview with CBS News aired on Sunday night, Johnson said, "I'm not going to lose one minute of sleep ruining this two-party monopoly that is going on.” "I think they are dinosaurs, and I think we're the comet in this whole equation. And I'm glad for it. I'm proud of it," he said. "I do believe this is going to be the demise of the Republican Party," the former New Mexico governor predicted. Johnson said he and his running mate, former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld, could win in November since the 2016 election cycle might produce an unexpected result, adding they wouldn't be running if they didn't see victory as a possibility. Weld said “it's something of a patriotic duty given how the election season is unfolding. We feel a responsibility to offer the country sort of a sober, sensible alternative.” The US Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Friday that Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein will not participate in the September 26 debate because they failed to garner the 15 percent support in five polls required to qualify for the debate. US Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson (center) and his running mate, former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld (right), talking to CBS News. Weld said regardless of whether or not they're on the debate stage they would still influence the November election. "We're going to alter the course of this election, whether or not we're in the debates," he said. "And I think someone trying to guess what that influence is going to be, that's very hard, very hard to predict." In an interview with Press TV on Saturday, a Green Party candidate for Congress said the US election process is undemocratic because it is unresponsive to the electorate's priorities. “The US touts itself as the greatest democracy on the planet yet has one of the most undemocratic election processes possible,” he said. The analyst said “the opportunity to represent the masses of people does not exist. There is the pretense of exposure for candidates but in the end, the system is rigged to deny all but those who adhere to an imperialist, capitalist agenda to win.” Poster Comment: Simplest way to disband US two-party system is to outlaw the Israeli lobby which has corrupted Congress to look after Israel's security.

While removing Israeli influence would not be a bad thing, switching to an Approval Voting system would/could be a much more permanent solution to the 2-party monopoly. With Approval Voting, there might be no need for political parties.
Regarding the belief of a third party win remember to close your eyes, click your heels three times and say.... The paperless voting machines guarantee the desired results to the secret, shadow govt who runs the world through banking and military force. Regarding the ambitious desire to end the two party system, just ask any person on the street and they'll tell you that it's guaranteed in the United States Constitution! ;)
Why don't we ask congress to impose term limits on their offices while we're at it? Hey, we can dream can't we? "Dear Senator, while we at Consolidated Global Energy Solutions Corporation appreciate your principled position on a perceived need for term limits, you may not fully appreciate just how much America relies on your experience, intelligence and savvy to protect us from very treacherous enemies that would love to destroy America. Therefore, we must insist that you vote against term limits for the sake of all that's good and holy...." 25,000 Signatures of Corporate CEOs below.... ________________________________________ Dear Sirs, Okay, you convinced me. And, because of my secure position in leadership I can assure you that without my support the measure will never reach the floor for a vote. Signed, Sen. Pontius Despot, Senate Majority Leader. One letter to one senator and, the problem is solved. It wouldn't take much to convince a senator in leadership just how intelligent, experienced and needed he is to protect the current cost of doing business in Washington, DC.
Donald Trump just destroyed both political parties right in front of our eyes, Gary Johnson is a day late and a dollar short in his vows.

When the right wing of the establishment and the media turned on Trump, many white Americans had the veil lifted from over their eyes. What an awakening, good heavens, its all one charade, one happy family, we been raped, violated, without intercourse.

Well,,,, Most white, working Americans are late to the grand awakening. I listened way back in 1952, to a much wiser, older gentleman, when he said, "think for yourself", both parties have offered Eisenhower """top spot for president in their parties""". I felt violated, no longer believed in Santa, Easter Bunny, nor Tooth fairy, it was a horrible awakening. What you said. ;-)

History, not a source... """The Campaign and Election of 1952:""" During an extraordinary military career, Dwight D. Eisenhower had done some things that few, if any, Americans had ever experienced. But he had not done something that was extremely common—he had never voted. Yet in 1948, many Americans hoped that the general would cast his first ballot—for himself as President. Dont ask me for a source as it will chaff my posterior.

If Trump can permanently take out the Clinton's and the Bush's in the same election cycle, he'll deserve a medal.

A real peace prize.

Johnson is barely capable of dismantling a bud and rolling it into a joint.

Good mj is cheaper in states where it is still illegal. Idiots in Denver paying 400/oz, come on, I could throw a few seeds in the yard and grow tons of it if I didn't get arrested and forfeitured.
" As a citizen, I would hesitate to see any political party outlawed on the basis of its political ideology. However, if it is proven that an organization is an agent of foreign power, or in any way not a legitimate political party -- and I think the government is capable of proving that -- then that is another matter." - Ronald Reagan to House Un-American Activities Committee, October 23, 1947
