For Canadians, that would be a no-brainer as "YES!!" but it's not that simple in the USA where the two party system is entrenched.

I am by no means an expert when it comes to American politics (or any politics for that matter), but why is this the case? Why has a third party never been able to gain a presence in the States?
Conroy Chick's post reminded me of another classic Simpson's moment. The episode where Kang and Kodos are Clin-ton and Gore.
Kang: You have to vote for one of us!
Random citizen: I'll vote for a third party candidate.
Kodos: HA HA HA!... Go ahead, throw away your vote!
Hilarious.
