Do you think America needs a third major political party?

👍 Yes (77%) – "Our two party system dates back to the founding of our country, so it will be hard to change. But both parties have become caricatures of themselves, and a strong third party will force change. Likely, it will result in replacing one of the two current parties."

• "I know the two party system is how it’s always been, but I also know there are so many people who feel lost with the polarizing nature of the current setup. Having another option will allow more people to have their centrist perspectives represented."

👎 No (12%) – "Game theory says that only two parties can truly function in a winner-take-all electoral system like what we have in the US. The third party will do nothing except weaken one of the existing parties and allow the unweakened party to win all its elections."

🤷‍♀️ Unsure/other (11%) – "I think additional parties are urgently needed, but we have to change the voting system first to a ranked preference or similar system that allows multiple parties to win enough votes to form governing coalitions."
