But if you could get a growing significant percentage of people away from the two leading parties, especially in swing states, it requires those two parties to reform / adapt more than perhaps they ordinarily would. They would probably still go on winning for the foreseeable future, but their strategies would have to be different. They would have to stand up for themselves more rather than just bash the other, since there would be multiple "others" to the very end.Plus the fact that having more than two parties would naturally reduce any potential for a civil war, violent or otherwise. It's a bad idea to categorize hundreds of millions of people into only two types, even on a spectrum. It's the unfolding results of this bad idea which is why everywhere you go people are shaking their heads over the election situation in general and why we have many home-front problems awaiting regardless of this year's victor. If the worry is that one candidate wouldn't get half the votes with a three or four leading parties, and the people don't want it taken out of their hands, then call for an amendment to that policy. |
