The two party system governs themselves. Gives themselves the power.
People love the two sided fighting and bickering that happens every election cycle between red and blue. It's like a drug in many ways.
Us vs. them. Up vs. down. Left vs. right. Yankees vs. Red Sox. Ali vs. Frazier. Bird vs. Magic. People love Mano Y Mano.

So, you won't give a third party the chance to do well, you'll wait until they've done well enough to vote for them. And instead of helping that cause, you'll instead throw your vote towards someone who is corrupt and you know is a bad vote. Yeah, that makes way more sense than trying to change the game when both candidates are ****.
