third-party politics

Third-party politics involves political parties other than the two main ones, like Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. It offers alternative viewpoints and can influence policy debates, often addressing issues the main parties overlook. While they rarely win major elections, third parties can shift public discourse and push larger parties to adopt new ideas. They serve as a vehicle for diverse perspectives, representing specific interests or philosophies, and contribute to a more vibrant, competitive political landscape.
