Once we get rid of First Past the Post voting, 3rd parties can become viable. But not now.
I'm a biiiiig fan or ranked-choice voting as a concept. It seems like such a nice way to get a more diverse political landscape which isn't set in stone like the US has right now. It'd certainly give other candidates an actual shot at the position. You simply don't even SEE third party candidates these days. They're not in any debate, they never get talked about... After all, why bother when they're never, ever going to win with the current setup?
