    The 2 party system is kept alive by the electoral college that incentivizes 2 party voting. If there was actual proportional representation, I would agree.

      Sorry to be pedantic, but that’s more due to First Past The Post voting than the Electoral College. The electoral college is why I will vote third party and it will make no difference in the outcome of this election.

        You throw your vote away because your vote will be thrown away?

        Well. Okay. That seems like a very, very, very long-term strategy.
