There isn't a viable 3rd party because the two that run the show do everything they can to keep it a two party system. I'll concede that the people deserve to shoulder
some of the responsibility, but don't sit and pretend that the government isn't doing anything to preserve the status quo and keep new ideas and fresh leadership from rising to power.
