    Structurally prevented from rising, but still can act as a spoiler. If a person votes for a left leaning third party candidate instead of Biden, they are making it more likely that Trump (or whoever the Republican nominee is) will win.

    I do want strong third parties, but we need Ranked Choice Voting or Approval Voting first.

      Yes. My point exactly. I think young people get frustrated being told 3rd party is a wasted vote and do it out of a sense of rebellion. Real rebellion is attacking first past the post
