    That’s not how any of this works. In many states in the USA, your votes for President are for entertainment purposes only; with our electoral college you can actually lose the popular vote and still win the election.

    More and more people are leaving the major parties every day, voters are 40% independent with Ds and Rs at 30% each. I predict that the major parties will continue to lose voters every year, and anti-incumbent voters will increase.

      That’s exactly how it works in a 2 party system. Voting for a 3rd party is throwing away your vote, no matter how you try to spin it.
