When you have a 2 party system no other candidate will ever do anything except cannibalize votes from the party they overlap the most with.
Green party takes votes from Democrats and libertarians take votes from Republicans.
Read the federalist papers. The founding fathers saw this reality coming. First past the post voting with 2 dominant parties means 3rd party voting or apathy is a vote for your opponent
this entire comment is obfuscation. I asked a specific question in response to a specific claim.
no, it's a vote for the so-called third party or no vote at all.
this is a myth. votes Don't belong to the Democrats. they belong to the voters. it's up to candidates to earn votes.
