With so many bemoaning a lack of choice in U.S. elections I would think that the debate featuring third party candidates would have garnered some attention and been discussed here. Did anyone watch? What are your opinions?

Why bother? Everyone knows the political system is corrupt. Every cycle we hear that so-and-so is going to put an end to corruption or close loopholes.

The money goes to a Democrat or Republican. Both parties will protect their donor's interests so the system isn't going to change.....at least not in the forseeable future.

I agree with the part about it not changing anytime soon but that shouldn't stop us from listening to their ideas.

I totally agree. The last time we had a third party candidate was when Ross Perot.

The third party debates were an excellent argument against including them in the real debates.
