Might as well stay home. Same as throwing your vote away on someone who doesn't have a hope in hell. Someday you will grow up and understand this.

Being a 'first' wife is a political experience. She was most likely one of his closest advisers for those 8 years.

If a third part did well enough in the primaries and I agreed with their values, and I think I wouldn't be tossing my vote in the toilet, I'd vote for them. Hasn't happened yet. The two party system is here to stay for a number of reasons.
The two party system governs themselves. Gives themselves the power.
People love the two sided fighting and bickering that happens every election cycle between red and blue. It's like a drug in many ways.
Us vs. them. Up vs. down. Left vs. right. Yankees vs. Red Sox. Ali vs. Frazier. Bird vs. Magic. People love Mano Y Mano.
