There has not been a time for ripe in modern times for a strong 3rd party candidate. To bad the whole system is rigged against it.

3rd party, on a national scale, is guaranteed to fail in fptp. The only one who wins in fptp is the least hated (of 2) candidate. 3rd party votes just suck votes that could be voted against that most hated candidate

This isn't inherently a failure of first past the post, this is a failure of human psychology.

First past the post voting systems prevent viable third parties because of human psychology. Why are we pretending to argue about how we phrase this?
