Want to build a viable third party for presidential elections? Start small at the city/county level and eventually you will have candidates at the state/federal level. Today's city council is tomorrow's senator/president. Does it really surprise anyone that a relatively unknown and unproven candidate outside of the two major parties doesn't get any traction in a federal election?

That takes money, lots of it and the 2 main parties have huge corporate donors who will never give money to an environmental party

That's already the goal of state chairs for third parties.
