    Well, no. The Electoral College has its own list of problems, but keeping 3rd parties out of power is not one of them.

    There’s two main reasons we don’t have any serious third party candidates:

    1. We have a first-past-the-post system, which mathematically results in a two-party system, and

    2. no serious politician runs as a third party candidate, because any serious politician understands how our election system works.
