An independent candidate for South Dakota’s lone U.S. House seat stopped by the Press & Dakotan last Friday. The interview had been arranged a couple of days before that, and so we prepared to meet him for the very first time. But in the back of our minds, we couldn’t help but think that he already had two strikes against him.Read the whole thing.
Such assumptions reflect the problems that candidates like B. Thomas Marking from Custer face as they make their lonely runs for office. And they are literally lonely: Unlike the candidates from the two major parties, independent hopefuls always show up for interviews without an assistant in tow to record what is said and keep the candidate on a tight schedule.
The aforementioned two strikes arise from the deeply ingrained two-party mentality that dominates our political culture. We have become so conditioned to choose one or the other that most of us give little thought to considering any variations.
But in an election cycle when incumbents are clearly an endangered species, you have to wonder if perhaps it’s time to look at the two-party system in general as an incumbent in need of a wakeup call.
