The shooting is being investigated as a potential act of domestic terrorism, but Crooks' reasons for targeting the rally remain unknown.Why didn't the Secret Service notice the lone gunman on the rooftop 200 meters away?The Secret Service did not detect Thomas Matthew Crooks on the rooftop due to a combination of factors.

Podcast Shownotes: American Politics 101 - Episode 2Why Aren't Third Parties Powerful in the USA?Structural Barriers First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) Electoral SystemThis system discourages voters from voting for smaller parties since votes for these parties are often considered "a wasted vote."It's similar to a horse race where everyone knows the two top parties usually have the best chance to win. Ballot Access LawsThird parties need large support, often in the form of a significant number of signatures, to get on the ballot.Fundraising for campaigns is challenging.Each state has different deadlines, making it troublesome for third parties to navigate.Political Strategy Shared ValuesMany third parties share similar values with the Democrats and Republicans, leading voters to choose the major parties instead.Media Coverage Limited ExposureThird parties receive limited media coverage, reducing their visibility to the general public.They often face difficulties participating in debates.Resource Constraints Funding and Organization The two major parties receive substantial financial support and have well-established fundraising networks.Major parties have more volunteers and experienced staff to run their campaigns efficiently.Tradition Voter Familiarity Many voters do not pay close attention to politics and prefer to choose what is familiar.There is a fear of "spoiling" the election by wasting a vote on a third party, which could lead to their least preferred major party winning.
