Even beyond the first-past-the-post system, election laws are deliberately crafted to be unkind to third parties. Really, the only chance a third party has is storm one or the other's strongholds and focus on overwhelming the perpetual losers until you take major party status in that area and pick fights with embattled incumbents or others who barely squeaked past the primary.

Not a big Jesse fan but the two party system has to go, either scrap party's all together (we can only hope) or make 2 or 3 more.
