3rd parties are just not viable in the US system. It's not set up for accomplishing change within a first to the post voting system.
Not viable in the current presidential US system.
They have viability in local elections. And if they establish themselves and help pass ranked voting, then they can be potentially viable for presidential elections.
That was my point. They only show up every election to act as BS spoilers with zero chance of success and just as quickly as they appear, they vanish once the vote is over because it was all a con.
