Abstract

Third Parties very seldom win any sort of election, especially over presidential elections. Most believe that the only reason that third parties are even on ballots is to play spoiler over the other candidates in an attempt to decrease their votes. However, third party members are exactly what the United States needs right now as we live in such a polarized society that we can't seem to agree on anything. With a better introduction towards third party systems and allowing them to be more televised and spread throughout the media can allow citizens to open up to more and new ideas and possibly but an end towards such polarized world.
