Your numbers are off.  About 120 million, give or take, decide the presidential election, not 300 million.  Also, the president doesn't have that much influence on our day-to-day lives.  State legislatures, governors, city councils, and mayors probably have more a direct impact on individuals.

When you look at the media and how they ignore certain canidates or debates that dont give equal time to all canidates it becomes even more appearant that the whole system is a bunch of fucking bullshit!

All comments are moot... we are a republic not a democracy.
A democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums. A republic, on the other hand, is a system in which the people choose representatives who, in turn, make policy decisions on their behalf. The Framers of the Constitution were altogether fearful of pure democracy.

If something is built on democracy why does it take millions of dollars in order to be heard and represent?

That is the question, of democracy as dictated in the thought of Jefferson, MONEY.

were just messing around here with ideas. We know we know and have heard the third party vote is a "wasted vote" but its good to remember that the third party vote candidate is usually a non life long statesman, who actually has a real proffession.

This is correct.

We are a Representative Republic. There is a difference.
