I am talking across all parties that gets exposed with heavy media coverage. If this election where you had two of the worst options ever doesn't do it then nothing will.

Who says it has to be a 3rd party? Maybe we just do away with all parties? Open up elections to whomever applies? Or maybe have a multiple party system wherein to be a "party" in politics, one has to file paperwork and have a set number of members and then we just allow as many parties as we want?

I'm just spitballing, but I don't think just having a 3rd party is going to do anything except just have 3 groups of politicians and supporters who irrationally hate each other.
