    I believe they are absolutely connected.


    If the third and fourth parties consistently ran serious candidates, they would poll better than 3 or 4 percent.

    People put too much blame for the failures of others on the two major parties.

    What about the state laws that make it very hard for 3rd parties to get onto the ballot?

    That would change quickly if they put up serious candidates.

    I disagree. Put up serious candidates which attract support and things will change quickly.
