And speaking about spoilers

So in this Democracy Now, interview,

Billion Dollar Mistake

there is a discussion and analysis of the 2016 election, as how
all that stuff shook out, to where we are now, and one element of
that is the " minor " party effects. This spoiler issue involved
a splitting of progressive efforts.

What I am suggesting is that this issue will be reduced by
having a non-partisan presidential election.   As I said before,
we are really not loosing that much, by implementing such a
system.  The question is if you would go to having two opponents
when there is already an incumbent. You could go both ways with that,
but you have to have  ,kind of, two major election in a row, so
advantages, but some disadvantages as well and that could just be
over kill.  But I'm sure there might be a clever way to a least
try and get the best of both worlds.  Perhaps the answer is to
always have 3 major candidates for all presidential elections.

I think this bipartisan election system would give minor party
candidates greater exposure as well as reducing or eliminating
a spoiler type effect in the final election process.
