    No, it’s technically correct because the math just doesn’t work in favor of third parties. That can change, but you have to put in a lot more effort than just voting at every opportunity.

      The point was, the only reason only two parties exist in this country has less to do with any mechanical reason why and more to do with the fact that a huge number of people, such as yourself, continue cementing into people’s minds that any alternative choice is worthless. Effectively, by continuing to perpetuate this idea over and over again in peoples minds, you have effectively created a self fulfilling prophecy.

      You are technically, right. A third option has little to no chance, but only because people, such as yourself, have continued to tell others that a third options had little to no chance.

        The main reason is the first past the post voting system that heavily favors two party systems, mathematically.
