    If you can only vote for one option then the better a 3rd party does the more it hurts the main party closest to it. I would expect Democrats and Republicans to be funding 3rd parties in the hopes of improving their chances of getting the most votes.

      For the 2020 election in my state, republican groups funded the campaign to collect signatures for the green party to be on the ballot. So your expectations are met.

        It is depressing when people get less representation in their government by voting for a party they want the most to represent them (or worse; the only party they want, or even worse: not having the option of voting “none of these, do this again”).

          Depressing but not shocking. The more niche you are the less people you can find that agree with you.

          Who gets to date more people the person with low standards or the person with impossibly high standards?

            That is not an issue. When an area only gets one representative that causes a large misrepresention error.

        I think that was to keep votes away from the Democrats but its still interesting

      Republicans have funded the Green Party for a long time now at least. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dems were funding the libertarian party.

      Was there ever proof that the Republicans donated to Nader in the 2000 election? Seems they did just about everything they could to deny the popular vote…

        I’m not American so I wouldn’t know. Do you have 2 votes, 1 for president and 1 for insert noun here?
