Crashing The Parties (PBS) – Americans have dozens of choices of toothpaste and soda pop – so why only two options for president? Would voters be better off with a third major political party beyond Democrats and Republicans?

“Crashing” goes on the trail with underdog presidential candidates from the Green, Libertarian, and Constitution parties and taps into the political psyche of independent renegade Jesse Ventura.

The PBS program was often paired in prime time with the fall presidential debates and was the subject of a special Harvard University forum on third party politics.
