Why in one of the most turbulent and terrifying times in this country's history can our presidential hopefuls be so uninspiring? It is clear that the public debate format has been carefully crafted in order to keep the candidates within their safe zones, but that is not what we need right now. We need rules and moderators who will push the candidates and call them out. We need to break the barrier of generality, and delve into the heart of such important affairs. But most of all, we need a different perspective.
Yes, I'm back to the third party rant, but after seeing these establishment candidates "duke it out" once again, I do not believe anyone would disagree that there must be another side to these issues. Independents and third party candidates provide much needed insight, and keep the others on their toes. It is truly tragic that the rules of the system prevent such a dynamic. Don't Americans want more choice? Or does it just not matter?
