For third candidates such as Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, the convoluted laws of state ballot access drain precious resources and stifle momentum for national and grassroots campaigns. If that wasn’t enough, these legal inconsistencies turn suspect when current laws invite partisan gamesmanship and manipulation. This is our Episode Two Postscript.

Over the next few days I’ll post the video’s we’ve made so far re: the 2016 election. We approached it from a non-trump, non-hillary perspective, by asking a simple question - why is it rare, not normal, for there to be more than two major party candidates in a presidential election? 

John and I started this project as complete political layman. Our own personal journey of discovery was well worth the effort. However, we think we did a pretty good job of telling the stories behind some parts of our electoral structure that needs some revamping. 

We’re trying to figure out our last episode as I type this post. In fact, I’m mainly typing this post as a procrastination method because there’s still 800 things to talk about, and we just don’t have the time or budget to handle everything. Anyway. I hope the good people of tumblr enjoy these.

“Without examples, without models, I began to believe voices in my head. That I am a freak, that I am broken, that there is something wrong with me, that I am unlovable. / Years later I find the courage to admit that I am transgendered, and that this does not mean I am unlovable. / So this world that we imagine in this room, might be used to gain access to other rooms. To other worlds. Previously unimaginable.” 

You hold the keys y’all. Find ‘em.
