Lol! Only 2 weeks ago I made the following post on Reddit in response to a non-American who was asking why 3rd party candidates never won I elections:
"Anytime someone gets close, the media makes them out to be a joke. They bash the third party relentlessly and make the two sides believe that voting for them would be a waste. Because the “Big Club” (ref. George Carlin) doesn’t want any other parties involved. And people are just stupid enough to know they are being duped but go along with it anyway.
Then, we get to the point of no return and voters are made to believe that if they vote for the third party candidate, they are actually voting for tyranny. And it ALWAYS works.
The USA doesn’t want to be free. We don’t want to make things better. We want to WIN!!! No matter the issue, no matter the consequences, no matter what you believe, “I need the validation of my team winning!” WIN!! WIN!! WIN!!!
That’s all that matters."
And now every other post is a “How Jill Stein is a piece of shit” post.

We deserve this fucking clown show.
The electoral college prevents any third party from ever winning. They’d need to get more votes than both other parties combined.
And you know that 60% of people just go and stamp R or D without thinking and will never be convinced to change.
Third parties are ridiculous at the presidential level until we change the voting system.
Vote third party local if you like. But they never run candidates because they don’t actually want to win.
