Three-Ring Circus: In this issue, Mother Jones gives you everything you need to know about the history—and the stakes—of candidates who challenge our two-party system. In “Spoiler Alert,” Washington Bureau Chief David Corn writes that third-party candidates never win national elections but can decide the future. A visual timeline lays out the history of righteous outrage and electoral opportunism. Readers sound off on the perils and promise of third parties. And national correspondent Tim Murphy tracks how Trump’s rise gave the Libertarian Party unprecedented success—before the fallout. Lest you fear that all is hopeless, our package notes how America can dare to upgrade how we choose our leaders. Voting rights correspondent Ari Berman reports on how the Founding Fathers lit the fuse on the crisis tearing the nation apart. Reporter Abby Vesoulis details how Ruben Gallego’s battle against Kari Lake in Arizona could decide the fate of the Senate—and democracy itself. And writer Carrie Arnold reveals how dialysis clinics are making a killing off deathly ill patients.
