Re: should the rules be changed to make it easier for one or more candidate into the
Third parties have a much bigger problem than that. It called themselves. Consider that last year a Pew Research survey claimed that 11% of Americans identified themselves as being of libertarian persuasion. That is one out of nine Americans IF that number is correct. So at election item what happens? Those so called self identified libertarians go to the polls and 90% of them vote for somebody other than the LIBERTARIAN PARTY - most of them voting Republican.
Deal with that before you start getting on horseback and tilting at windmills you pretend are monsters.
That's the whole point. Third party candidates are deliberately marginalized by the establishment, Americans don't get to hear and see them. That's the reason for a need to change the rules, get these people in the open, let Americans actually hear them.
