Isn't it kinda weird that third parties only make an effort every 4 years? (i.imgflip.com)

You'd think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans...

I'll guess it that people who like third parties fall into 2 categories: people who are really focused on one issue in particular (green party, free soil party, pirate party), and people who are really individualistic (Angus King, Bernie Sanders, Jesse Ventura, etc.). The former aren't really there to win, but rather to draw attention to the issue. And the latter don't wanna join someone else's party.
