Last election Gary Johnson got 4% of the vote in a system where nobody cares. In a straight popular vote he would get more.


The Democrats and Republicans may be at each other throats about almost everything but one thing they agree on it their two party duopoly.
Or go to a must voting system, where you order your candidates 1-5 with the 1st getting five points, the 2nd getting four, 3rd getting three and so on. Get it done in one vote.

I like the idea. And introduce term limits (20 years) to make up for mistakes. Recall is also possible.
