I know a lot of folks would realize that there are other choices like the Libertarian and Green Parties, but most Americans prefer to keep things simple and do as told by the media or what their high school government teacher told them to do.

The Libertarian Party is a clusterfuck of in-fighting, backstabbing, manipulation, craziness and rules lawyering. Basically take everything wrong with the two main parties and then throw in steroids.

Even though, I think you do have a point. In my opinion, I think America does have a place for another party or two.

What you mentioned is also happening in Democrat and Republican. Do you think Democrat, and Republican do not have an in-fighting? It's even worst in the Republican party. They only banded together because they don't have a choice.

Its kind of silly for people to only have a choice between Left or Right, 2 options of stupidity are forcing me to vote for the lesser evil.

Of course all the things I listed that were problems in the LP exist in both mainstream parties. The difference is that the two mainstream parties are not completely paralyzed by it and unable to get members elected due to it. With the Internet, it becomes a bit harder to maintain the narrative that the only reason the LP yields such abysmal numbers is due to MSM shunning. The problem goes much deeper.

By all means, try to change it. I hope you have more luck than those who came before you. No sarcasm intended whatsoever.
