    Can’t Americans do something to change the way elections happen?

    Yes but they are too brainwashed into thinking they must vote either red or blue to save the country

      It’s the disproportionate electoral system. A serious third candidate would “spoil” the vote of one party, and then you just hand the win to the other side.

        A third party would spoil corrupted red and blue ambitions because as soon as they see a drop in their votes they go in panic mode and they have to change their policies to actually appeal people.

          Republicans were (are?) a huge backer for the Green party because a strong Green candidate guarantees a Republican win.
