Hillary or Trump: Which of These is the Lesser of Two Evils?

[abaris]

I believe the media to be largely at fault.  The 'sheeple' of America will usually ignore the third party as the media promotes (depending on bias) the two major parties and downplays the third.  The 'sheeple' being afraid to 'waste' their vote on the third party, inevitably got for "the lesser of two evils".

The problem is the majority suffrage. During the 80ies, green parties made it into the parliaments of most Western countries. Although their coverage was as bad as it is in America. The winner takes it all system cements the two party system. When it comes to presidential elections, you can just as well flush your vote down the toilet as voting for a third party candidate. The effect is the same.
