    So once every 50 elections one party gets so bad that everyone abandons ship.

    I have a feeling it might be time for that 2%

      My point is that third parties aren’t able to win in our current voting system unless one party literally rips itself in half, in which case the system immediately goes back to a 2 party system when the ripped party inevitably dies off. And that party didn’t dies from people abandoning ship, it died because it ran 2 candidates for presidency

      Third parties literally cannot exist based on the way our government is set up.
