Find out why it doesn't appeal to those people. And start appealing to them. Of course, this would involve actually sticking up for the environment, actually opposing nuclear, actually ending wars and stopping so much of our monies going off to the military etc.

Third party voters don't like politicians whose main appeal is "lip service" given to popular causes. They also look to see if the talking points are then backed up with any real achievements.

And it could be that many of those who voted third party would not have bothered to vote for anyone at all. Close to fifty percent of Americans usually don't bother to vote.

We don't have to go far back in history to see how the item suggested in paragraph one my reply here is done: Barack Obama managed to show enough interest in the third party voters that some 62.4 percent of all voters showed up or mailed in ballots in 2008. He realized what his message needed to be, and it worked.

This 62.4% was the most people who had turned out for an election in over 45 years! People who normally vote third party voted for him. Hell's Bell's, my RW Tea Bagger neighbor believed in him, gave him his vote, and even sent him money.

In off year elections, some districts show only 18 percent of all voters showing up or sending in the mail ballots.
