MODERATORS
It makes little sense to vote third party in your current system. Electoral reform is needed to break the cycle. For example with proportional representation instead of winner takes all.
third parties makes full sense. Of course you have no chance in the next few years but one of two scenarios will happen; 1) the people more and more open up the idea for the 3rd party and use it as a protest vote or 2) one of the duo-party system will try to capitalize on taking those votes by taking their main argument. No third party, no duo-party side has any incentive to remodel at all, they will just wait for the next cycle for their turn and things will continue as is. This is why the US political landscape has corrupted itself to the end.
