The hard part is getting the independents to actually vote for an independent candidate. If everyone that complained about only have two choices for president had voted for a third party candidate, we would have a third party in this country. No, they wouldn't have won, but they would have gotten a lot of votes, qualified for federal matching funds, gotten a ton of press and put themselves on the map and in a good position to elect people at the local and state levels and make a legit white house run in the next election.

But people won't do that. They would rather pick one of the two and bitch about it than actually do something about it.
