This. Doesn't matter if they get 25% in every election they will still end up with ZERO seats.
The way our country is divided right now a third party (or parties) would only have to win a very few seats to have enough power to force some compromises and get the system running again. But that means they have to win some elections instead of just getting a bunch of votes and finishing 2nd or third.
