For a third party candidate to be competitive in the US political system the chances are all but impossible. Peta Lindsay says she’s not running to win necessarily, but to build a movement.
She says that the current two-party system here celebrates corporate interests at the expense of the average citizen. She says those exploited voters have a voice in her party.
Watch our two question interview with Peta and see why she chose to just run for head office!
According to the latest statistics from the US Election Project, there are about 208 million eligible voters in the US. But in the last election just more than half registered to vote at 136 million. Lindsay says she believes part of the reason that voters lack enthusiasm is because they aren’t inspired by the dominant parties who try to shut out budding competition.
