Are republicans the only conservatives?
The answer is no.
There are other parties such as the Libertarian party and the Constitutionalists party.
The Constitutionalists being the most conservative and Libertarian, the second most conservative, then Republican.
So why do you think that during elections we have pretty much a two-party system between Democrats and Republicans?
Is it because the media sweeps the other candidates from the other parties under the bus?
Or is it schools not teaching all parties?
And do you think voting third party is worth it?

I think it is because people and the country doesn't want to fall under either of the two extremes, conservative or liberal.
The media has a lot of power so i think they do sort of bring more attention to just the two parties rather than the other ones.
I have noticed schools don't really teach politics. I think this is a good thing though because teachers can be very bias and try to influence their students. I think a better way to introduce students to parties in school is to encourage clubs.
Voting third party is important to me. I believe you should vote for the person that shares the most ideas with you. However I do understand that in a way you give up the chance of helping another candidate win against someone you defiantly do not want.
I think the media should bring a little more light to the other candidates to make people feel comfortable putting their vote on them.

It's because only a two party system will work.
I took a College Math class last semester on political elections and all the different voting methods.
A two-party, majority rule election, with an odd number of voters is the only completely fair and monotone way.

Well..... you see.. i'm a libertarian. I don't think that really means i'm a conservative extremist. How could you say Constitutionists are extremely conservative. the libertarians and constitutionists want to follow by the constitution. And media doesn't like them because the media is controlled by democraps. The republicans and other parties that aren't liberal get s**t on.
