In Presidential races, one can generally find a third party on the ballot. Yet, in a truly stunning example of the Abilene paradox, nobody votes for the third party because everyone assumes the third party has no chance of winning.I'm not sure which third party supporters you're talking about, but if they supported Ross Perot, they're probably not a representative example. While I wouldn't necessarily be satisfied with, say, Bernie Sanders in every respect, I would be downright ecstatic if people like him took control of government. |
