Why Americans Need More Presidential Candidates?

In this video, we explore the pressing need for more than just two presidential candidates in the United States, emphasizing how the current political landscape fails to represent a significant portion of the American population. We delve into recent data showing that a growing number of Americans feel disillusioned with the two-party system, believing that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans truly represent their views.

The video highlights the dangers of this limited choice, including increased political polarization, lack of innovative policy solutions, and the entrenchment of special interests that stifle meaningful change. To back these points, the video uses data from credible sources like the Pew Research Center and Gallup, which illustrate the growing distrust in the current system and the desire for alternatives.
The video concludes by advocating for electoral reforms, such as ranked-choice voting, that could open the door to more candidates and ultimately a healthier democracy. This video serves as a call to action for viewers to reconsider the status quo and push for a political system that offers more choices, better representation, and stronger leadership.
