If you wish, myself or another Mod can edit the poll for you so that it adds in Other, as well as any other additional options. Just let me know if you'd like that, and which options you want put in.
Thank you. ^^

you almost have to vote for the lesser of two...well, I don't want to say evils, but the less bad of the two

That's the problem with being a giant elephant or donkey- you have to be careful not to step on any mice. And there are a LOT of mice.

I'd say third parties only have voice as far as being able to make a big enough issue about something that the two big boys have to at least address it.
unless your making a coalition government (which has a lot of downsides as well) the % of electoral votes is all that really counts
