Agreed.
I've seen stats that say anywhere between 25% and 33% of Americans are registered independent and/or third party.
It's been very difficult in the past to get a third party on a ballot here in Ohio. But it seems like a significant number of Americans are leaning that way. And I think that if third party/independent parties were more equally represented, even more people would vote that way. I know several people who are registered either Democrat or Republican
only so they can vote in the primary, not necessarily because they agree with the majority of that party.
