Us real lefties have long wanted public financing of campaigns and instant run-off voting. This would give third parties a big enough boost to be viable, while respecting everyone's rights.



Yeah, lefties love spending other folks money. If a third party needs government financing to prop itself up, it doesn't deserve propping up.

Keep in mind that you're talking about "respecting everyone's rights". So that means not just the Greens and the Socialists, but it also includes the Tea Party, the Constitution Party, the various WP and NS groups. I'm sure when someone starts getting gov funds for a Stamp Out the Niggers platform, your pie in the sky hopes for everyone's rights being respected will go out the window.
