  • Because the current system is setup to exclude third party voters, mathematically the FPTP system will result in a two party duopoly. And we’ve seen time and time again that the spoiler effect reduces votes to the party more similar to the third party.

    So yeah, unless you get all the people to dedicate to a third party blowout, it is a waste. If an incumbent president didn’t have enough influence to break the duopoly by going third party, do you really think it’s ever going to happen? Particularly without a huge movement of said third party?

    Pragmatically speaking, voting third party only serves to help the people you disagree with more.
