If one is a leftist and wants a third party just so we'll be represented at all, then supporting right wing independents could backfire. Their corrupt corporate moderates are costing the right just as much support as they cost us. There's a lot of religious folks out there who - if united - would usher in the Handmaid's Tale.

Ross Perot came very close to actually winning. In today's climate, a far right candidate just might.

Just curious... In what way did Ross Perot come close to winning? I see that he got 8% of the popular vote in 1996 but I'm not seeing that he ever got an electoral vote.

In that he got a large percentage of the total votes.
