A left-leaning voter voting third party is just half a vote for Trump. There’s zero chance of a remotely left-leaning third party winning the presidency.
(I say “left-leaning”, but the U.S.'s “left-leaning” is what the rest of the world would call “conservative” at best.)
Americans suck and will not vote for a good government. They will vote for a bad government or a worse government, and there’s not enough people who will vote for the third option for it to be viable.
The idea that you are satisfied with who you vote for and happy with the government is something your civics teacher should have beaten out of you. Americans don’t get nice things.
I agree with your post except for the implication that the American voters and/or civics teachers are at fault. The way voting works in the U.S., it’s just not possible to vote our way out of this mess.
