This was discovered in a painfully slow fashion. Both parties have participated in a willful method of excluding third party candidates from ballots throughout the country. So much so, that we are allowed to vote for one of two ego maniacs dedicated to the destruction of each other and each others party.

It is very difficult to be optimistic when two parties hold all the power and use it destructively with no intention of working with each other. |
