Nah. There's always going to be those, "They'll never win", "they're not a practical choice", "Voting third party is a waste" types.

Democrats and Republicans can only agree on one thing. They don't want more competition. I think that's why voter apathy is so bad

I have a former roommate that her reason for not voting is that she doesn't think it effects her. She thinks she can live an apolitical life because she just doesn't want to deal with it. Meanwhile she can't afford anything because our state makes it really hard to get food stamps

voting third party will just split the vote for the side you want though (and thats a big problem when the opponent is literal evil or whatever, and the margins are so tight), we need to switch to a better voting system like ranked choice voting to allow more than 2 options.
