    Based on the fact that for some reason it is only once every 4 years, around October, that there appears to be an interest in a 3rd party from Americans…

      And the rest of the time over the last 50 years, everyone is happy with the government’s performance? What a ridiculous argument rooted in absolutely nothing. This says a lot more about you than anyone else.

      Maybe this is the only period where you hear people criticizing these two private organizations that run the show because it’s the only time you ever take your head out from between their cheeks to get some air?

        So a week from now you’re still going to be posting about the importance of holding politicians accountable? Come January you’re going to be involved in some action to pressure the government to do something about Israel? I’d love to be proven wrong.

          These comments reek of projection because your view of politics is “pay attention in October before the election.” You don’t seem to grasp that other people care about how the country is run outside of that tiny window where you pay attention because you only see the world through your own lens.

            I don’t live in the US, so I’m not terribly involved in your local politics. I just notice that it only seems to be in October that a noticeable number of people are talking about holding politicians accountable and “making a 3rd party viable.”

            Prove me wrong and push for improvements between elections as well.
