"I've got a little noise here today, I take it maybe you people would like to see a three-party America. " ————Ed Clark, at the 1980 Libertarian Party Convention
Hello everyone! This is my first work on this site. I'd like to introduce you to a very interesting candidate: Ed Clark. His campaign is - in my opinion - the most interesting the Libertarian Party has ever run, and also the one with the most potential. For many in the country, both candidates in 1980 were difficult to swallow... Anderson's campaign gave them a third choice, and in fact the similarities between the two candidates destroyed Clark's chances.
What if Clark becomes the only third choice? Could his more moderate libertarianism enable the Libertarian Party to achieve its goal of turning the United States into a three-party system? I'll try my best to describe the scene, but if you feel there's anything unrealistic about it, feel free to point it out. Hope I can update steadily.
