Not if they broke out of the make believe right/left paradigm.

so voting for somebody else than for one of "the big 2" would chance something in your opinion then [?]
in other countries than the u.s. it may indeed change something , but in the u.s. it's as useless as not voting @ all , if u want to make a change , as NOBODY that is not a candidate of the republicans or the democrates will EVER win an election in the u.s. as long as the current status quo of the election process will remain as such ! *sigh*
the day somebody else will win & become president of the u.s. will indeed be a real change , but i don't see this happening during the next 12 or even more years , sorry !

I agree. It will take time as more and more people are wake up to how corrupt the two party system is. That doesn't mean a smaller party isn't corrupt or wouldn't be corrupted but a realistic choice other than the "big 2" (which is really the the "big 1" as far as I'm concerned) would bode well for our country. Sadly with the deteriorating economy the viabilty of a smaller party getting more attention might happen sooner than 12 years. I wish it could be under different cirumstances.[:(]
