Question

Do Third party candidates rarely win elections

Answer 1

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

they rarely win elections because they're parties that aren't democratic or republican. these two political parties dominate elections because of how many supporters there are. since third parties don't have a legitimate chance of winning, they influence national politics by forcing the major political parties to address new problems they wouldn't have normally thought about. they can also take away some of the votes that otherwise could have went for the major parties.

Answer 2

yes this is true, 3rd party candidates barely ever win elections especially in the united states where more independents win than 3rd party candidates. The only times the 3rd parties won vastly were when they took the identity of a fallen major party (ex: republican (wig), democrat (Democratic Republicans)).
