Quote:Why don't other groups come up and make a stand against the two major parties.
Because if there is one thing that the republicans and democrats DO agree on it is that there should be two parties. This has led to a bizarre and nearly impenetrable wall of rules, regulations and laws at the state level (and all the states are different) which constitute a barrier to the formation of 3d parties. The main players are largely exempt from those rules because they wrote them to maintain the status quo.
