Media makes us think there are only 2 Presidential nominees
According to the Wikipedia entry below, there are actually 6 nominees. Perhaps it's incomplete as well. How many others can you name?

If there are at least 6 nominees for POTUS, why does the media only cover 2 of them? Why does the Presidential debate only invite 2 of them? Where's the media when it comes to informing the public about our choices?

On the flip side, I've yet to see a TV ad or hear a radio ad talking about any of them, either. If their parties were serious about their nominees, they'd push harder for public awareness and knowledge about what their nominees stand for and what they'd do in office.

This shit is why I don't fraking vote. It's impossible to be adequately informed to make any kind of rational, educated decision regarding an individual to be this country's front man.

Re: Media makes us think there are only 2 Presidential nominees
This is ridiculous.
There are two people running for president,
one of whom will be the next president.

Just two.

If you want to write in Alfred E. Neuman,
or Rip Van Winkle, or vote for one of the
"other candidates" who also will never be
president,

KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

Because the financial oligarchs want to continue their fascist regime and massive financial ponzis going.

well a two party system allows for the illusion of choice when really all there is is a dualopoly. makes it easy to tell us how to live, while making it seem like we're not being told, but 'convinced'.
