Yeah... I hear you... but I think there is a unified motive power behind all of the parties that are not Republicans or Democrats, in the USA. The more Libertarians and Greens and Socialists and Whatevers we can get legitimately onto ballots, the less we focus on the "R" or "D" next to their name, and instead look at their positions. When the choice is black and white, it is really no choice at all. But when you have a lot of shades of grey in the middle, then you actually have to think about the issues and the positions. Variety is good. And there are always the outliers - the Pirate Party in Sweden and Iceland actually have sitting representatives! - that give all the other marginalized parties a goal to shoot for.
