This writer has listened to many conservative commentators claim that there is no room for third parties. According to them there should be only Democrats and Republicans. Using their standards only the New York Yankees would win the World Series, only the Green Bay Packers win the Lombardi Trophy, only the Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup, and only the Los Angeles Lakers win the NBA Championship.
Let’s face it: the major parties do not “deserve” any vote they did not earn. If the voters’ concerns are not adequately addressed by the major parties but are addressed by a minor party that minor party deserves the vote.
