If the Libertarians (like 'em or hate 'em) can take advantage of this disaster to put up a reasonable showing -- maybe even earn an electoral college vote!?? -- then the public might start to see that it doesn't *have to* be "Kang vs Kodos." That they don't have to simply pick the least-bad option. If that occurs, then maybe American politics will recover.
While the electoral college system might encourage a 2-party system, the same is not necessarily true in Congress, is it? Start small, and start eroding the power of the old guard.
