on election day will the majority of people vote third party or will they vote for the two party monopoly?

Answer 1

Say what? Two party monopoly. HUH???

Answer 2

Granted a monopoly can't happen with 2 parties since Mono means ONE

I can understand however the question and I would have to say the majority of the people will go with the 2 major parties mainly because the people running in the lesser known parties have smaller campaigns and their words aren't heard from by the same amount of people as the Dem/Rep candidates so until a 3rd party makes enough money to campaign as much they will not get anywhere near enough votes to even make a ripple in the election results

Answer 3

Independents are making inroads. There is still no viable third party candidate so a person is kind of forced to vote one of the big two. Do your homework before voting, don't get caught up in the television hype, vote the person not the party. That's our best choice for now as I see things.

Answer 4

Mostly for the duopoly.
Mainly because the two main parties keep the other parties off the ballots.
Those that would vote for a third party often just stay home.

Answer 5

While it's not wrong to have an already decided view, it signals to me that you have a closed mind, which is often the mark of someone with other negative traits-----bigotry, hypocrisy, avarice, racism, mindless obedience to orders, an inferiority complex------

Hmmm. Who does that sound like, I wonder.

Anyway, to treat your question seriously, the vastly overwhelming majority of our fellow citizens will make their choice either from Republican or Democratic candidates, and there are good reasons for this. Both major parties are, in fact inclusive. They seem very much alike because they are very much alike---they both attempt to appeal to the greatest number of voters. Third parties in the past have frequently been "single issue" parties, and while they attract ferocious loyalty among their followers, they simply can't compete in a sociologically diverse society such as ours. Your evident desire for an alternative place to put your vote can be easily satisfied, any person(s) who satisfy the legal requirements for filling elective office can be voted for. Just take a pen with you to the polling place.

Third parties HAVE had lasting impact upon our society when they embrace a broad range of views. The classic example is the Progressive Party of the early 1900's. Their third party efforts led to the 40 hr. work week, unemployment compensation, the minimum wage, child labor laws, food inspections for freshness and cleanliness to assure that the food we eat won't kill us, the provision of basic services to the country's population, notably electricity.........Although never electing a candidate to major office with the exception of Sen. Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin their platforms drew enough support that the major parties had to take notice of them, and one, the Democrats, embraced them while the Republicans remained the supporters of entrenched interests, as they are today.

Answer 6

the americans have to think outside the box. to get to govern you have to join either party or create a 3rd party. both are near impossible as all are controlled by big business who feeds billions into election campaigns. there is an alternative. its the people who decides who shld govern and not the political party to choose the candidate. it needs a total overhaul of the political system. wanna hear some more??

Answer 7

Voting and political parties are merely an illusion, because THIS secret and evil group has been in control of everything for far too long!...
