Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.

I don’t disagree that reform is needed, but I do disagree that voting for a third candidate is useless, purely on the basis that they work elsewhere. My point is that America isn’t special, and a party that won’t necessarily win can affect policy without ever truly seeing power.

purely on the basis that they work elsewhere.

Do you mean working elsewhere, with elsewhere being other levels of government, or elsewhere being other countries?

Either way I disagree, but I want clarification first.
