      Exactly! Sorry I used the word likely instead of presumptive. As for the other parties, people can vote for their candidates too but like the write ins, they usually don’t win.

      It doesn’t matter how many other names are listed.

      There’s no possibility anyone who’s not the Republican or Democrat candidate wins. It can’t happen.

          It’s how the system is set up.

          It’s legitimately idiotic to vote for someone who isn’t the candidate for the two parties with the way the system is set up, so only idiotic people do it.

            I’d say it’s idiotic to support the two party system. People in other countries have managed to setup different systems, so its absolutely possible to do things differently than we currently do.
