The reason why somebody wouldn't vote for a third party is because they feel as if they're hurting the "lesser of two evils" and hence helping the "greater of two evils." Anyway, I'm glad we live in a republic and not a democracy. Mob rule is not fun, while at least in a republic the political minority has some say in the law-making, law-enforcing, and judgement processes. Furthermore, the government should ideally remain weak.
