I'll list some of the major third parties.
For me I think its a split between the Socialist Party and Green Party. I liked a lot of what 2004 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik had to say about the current issues with the current administration, but once I actually looked into the Libertarian Party's plans and views, I saw that they were planning on some pretty bad stuff, although much of it was good. The Green Party seemed the best to me during the 2004 Election, so I'll vote for them in this poll. I mostly associate myself with the Democratic Socialists, but the Socialist candidate during 2004 was just so rediculously weak. He wasted like 2 minutes of his speaking time during the third party Presidential debates searching through a pile of papers for notes. And he looked like he was going to roll over and die at any second due to old age. He must have been in his upper 80's if not in his 90's. | Split between green and socialist party for me too. Socialist just seems to equal communist in so many republicans minds that it wouldn't be worth it for me. Too frustrating to have to explain everything. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
