Most third parties in the US stand no chance of winning the presidency, so they serve as a protest, a chance for people to vote for an unpopular opinion or a candidate with a narrow view.Some people vote for them just to show a disdain for the major parties. They can hope to have their ideas incorporated into a major party if they can make a good showing. Sometimes a third party or an independent movement will win a Congressional seat. Sometimes a senator will rebel from his party, run as an independent and win.
