voting third party means you vote,

if a third party gets a couple percentage in the polls, major parties will bend over backwards and adopt their policies.

Literally has not happened since Teddy Roosevelt. And I think that's the one and only time.

meanwhile, feeding the Republican-Democrat ratchet has definitely worked out well.

look how Brexit, it was a fringe idea that no major party wanted, but a third party started polling near single digits and the major parties immediately took its ideas. and even though UKIP lost the election, it was the biggest winner.
