I do understand that third party voters exist. I just wish they would return the favor.
From comments I’ve read on an ongoing basis over the years, a lot of third party voters think that the majority of the country secretly agrees with them in their hearts. They think that people want to elect third party candidates but are somehow prevented from doing so by the Democrats and the Republicans. And if somehow the system could be fixed, the people would be freed from two-party tyranny and could vote for Libertarians or Socialists or Greens or Conservatives or whatever.
The reality is the dominance of the two party system reflects what the voters want. Most of us really are mainstream Democrats or mainstream Republicans or floating between those two parties. We don’t feel trapped in the system; we created the system.
