Iv always thought demographics were an interesting part of third-party politics. For example, Greens and Socialists tend to attract the poorer segments of society and minorities. Sure, their leaders are professors (Who still dont make that much money,btw) and such, but their voter-base is made up of people who really cant afford to donate money.

Ralph Nader is a different story, since his voter-base is law-students and attorneys. They shell out plenty.

Libertarians, too, are an interesting part of this study. They’re undoubtedly the richest of the established third-parties, probably partially because they attract so many businessmen with their ideology.

I just think it is fascinating.
