This video explains how winner take all politics tends naturally toward a two party system, and how third party campaigns actually harm the people that support that third party.
This video explains an alternative voting system that would resolve this problem.

I clicked on the link but haven't watched the video yet. Actually, I think I may have seen it a couple of months back - I came across some of the author's videos in the past and found the ones I saw to be interesting.
Anyway - my reason for posting a comment is to ask if you have a twitter ID. Once in a while I come across a link I think you might find useful. Would be easy to share it via twitter. On a related note - though I haven't read it myself - the following might be of interested to you.

Thanks for the link, Paul. I am not on twitter. Should I be? When twitter first came out I found the whole thing totally bizarre. Like a status update on Facebook. Do I want to get notified when people go to the mall or whatever? But obviously people love it. I never would have guessed.
Whether you should be or not I cannot say. I like it and I think it has its uses.

this is typically only true if you choose to follow someone that might tweet this kind of thing. Or if someone tweets directly at you w/ this type of thing. You can block users if you wish.
