    How is voting third party going to change the two major parties or defeat the duopoly? At best one of the parties will move slightly more toward your positions, but they won’t move so far that they lose voters who support them precariously but think your positions stink.

    They also have to factor in that no matter how much they bend you will vote third party anyway because they didn’t match what you’re looking for exactly.

      Voting third party is about more than just influencing the two major parties; it’s about breaking free from the stranglehold they have on our democracy.

      If we never support alternatives, we’re only reinforcing the status quo, ensuring that real change never has a chance to take root.

      The duopoly thrives on the idea that they’re the only options—by voting third party, we challenge that narrative and lay the groundwork for a more diverse and representative political landscape.
