Arguments
We don't need a third candidate in the debate, we need at least two.
Neither Barack nor Mitt's platforms address:
(1) Reinstating Glass-Steagall
(2) Strategies to expand voting, like same-day registration, a national holiday, or restoring the vote to ex-convicts who've paid their debt to society
(3) Campaign finance
(4) Ending or limiting corporate personhood
(5) Relieving student loan debt
(6) Strategies to help elections better reflect the people's will like ending the Electoral College, leveling the playing field for all candidates, and non-partisan election commissions
(7) New financial regulations beyond Dodd-Frank
(8) Remedies for the real estate and foreclosure crises
(9) Establishing public banks
(10) Seriously reducing military spending
These are all parts of Jill Stein's platform, and other candidates have ideas to add as well.
The problem is not that there's no difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, it's that there are huge issues that won't be discussed if it's just the two of them.

Our discussion/poll at DailyKos. People seem pretty resistant, think there's enough difference between Barack and Mitt.
