This isn't new, it happens in every election. Are there problems with the US system?

Youbetcha. But the 2 parties that could fix them have chosen not to... in fact they've worked hard to make it worse.

Instead of offering solutions,,the NYT uses opinion polls to scare third party voters into voting or staying home.

This long running vote suppressing strategy is why more eligible American voters stayed home in 2016 than voted for Mrs Clinton or Mr Trump.

The New York Times tells us "Jill Stein, the Party nominee, is polling at about 1 percent nationally, according to New York Times polling released last week. Same with Chase Oliver, the Party candidate.

"In every battleground state, there is at least one third-party or independent presidential candidate on the ballot.

"None of these candidates will come anywhere close to winning the presidency" claims the New York Times.

HOW DO THEY KNOW?

Do they have a Crystal Ball? Not exactly. It bases its guess is on opinion polls.

The NYT is worried about the "battleground states," hotly contested by third parties & Independent Presidential Candidates.

The DNC Blames Greens for its own inability to earn votes. Instead of even trying to winning over voters on its own merit, the DNC chooses to invests in limiting American electoral choice.

Nobody has to vote against their own conscience, even in a broken system like the one in the USA.
