Political Parties Part Two Minor Parties

     Even though America is a predominantly a two-party system, there are other political parties known as minor parties. It is often hard for minor parties to gain traction in America, because anytime they come up with a good policy idea the major parties swoop in and steal the idea. There are tons of minor parties in the United States such as the Libertarian party, Communist party, Green party, Peace and Freedom party, and even the Pirate Party. Those are just a few of the hundreds of minor parties in America. The most votes a third-party candidate had received was Ross Perot in 1992 he had 19% of the popular vote. This election however two third-party tickets were on the ballot in all 50 states. Gary Johnson represented the Libertarian party while Doctor Jill Stein represented the Green party.
