I think people would be more willing to vote for a third party if they worked bottom up, not trying top down....

The Electoral college is why. It's just their vote that picks a president. Not yours.

Read all of these as "parly" and "parlies".

Okay to explain it for the libertarians for the umpteenth time, voting third party would result in SOMEONE winning with less than 50% of...
...the vote, popular or electoral. or even possibly less than 30% of the vote. And it still won't be your 3rd party candidate. If they...
...where that good or desirable enough they'd have been in the top 2. "They would have but the system is rigged". Then unrig it. ...

With the voting system we have now, third parties are a bad bet, since it's winner-take-all and if you lose, you've wasted your vote. 1/2
But it's not in the interest of current parties to permit this. Change in voting process - *that* would be the revolution.
But if we had, say, 1st and 2nd preference, so if your 1st loses, your vote still counts - that makes third parties viable.(2/2) ++

That insinuates that if you vote for the loser you wasted your vote. Just vote for who you want regardless of their chances
