The biggest problem I see with forming a 3rd party is apathy. I meet/know very few people who are either well informed or who care to be. When people blindly follow the MSM and refuse to do the simple work of studying their leadership, when they can’t find the time to go vote, when they are eagerly lining up for freebies, no 3rd party has a chance. It’s a large part of why the Repubs seem to have no chance. People are woefully uninformed and happy to be that way as long as the gov’t check keeps coming.
