And again, most people fed up with the right and left are voting third party not on actual political platforms (seeing as a third party candidate hasn't a snowballs chance in hell of winning) but just to buck the system.

Call it rebel without a clue.

So, you hate the right and the left and want to make a statement (not elect a president) so you vote for the third party candidate who will make the most dissenting noise, even though it's useless noise.
