Comments by "John Smith" (@captcrais101) on "Jesse Ventura - Bin Laden, Conspiracies and Vets" video.
@jaba987 Thom has been critical of Obama in the past. He knows that Obama is not a liberal. Fact is that the electoral college system of winner take all on state points rigs the presidency into the two party illusion. You need a major organized public shif in enough states for a third party candiate to win and that is almost impossible.

Ventura run for president.

@Cryptopsy666 true but the only way to get IRV is petitioning state governments for ballot questions on it.

@ggadguy I know I shouldn't talk to a troll but third parties are not always aviable in all races. They are not always on the ballot. Someotines the two party illusion is the only options. Although I would choose the greens if I have the third party option.

@TiradeFaction Thom may have meant that the Two parties have a right to existin the constitution. I think it is part of first admendment. But there is nothing that says we can't have a third party. We just need to have intanst run off voting a rewrite the state laws concerning the electoral college, which decide the presidency, so the state points are not winner take all.

@ggadguy You are right about Jesse but Ron has a campagin manager that worked for Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan. He sucks.
