How do third parties influence American politics?
Historically speaking, third parties have had a limited influence on American politics. Currently, the two major American parties--the Democrats and Republicans--have deliberately crafted platforms designed to address most of the concerns of the voting public. However, it is possible for a third party to seize political advantage by successfully arguing that existing parties are not offering a sufficient solution to a pressing problem. In this way, third parties that gain momentum usually do so by aligning themselves with one particular cause, such as debt reduction or immigration. By leveraging one specific argument, that resonates with an identifiable segment of the voting public, third parties can temporarily present themselves as fresh alternatives to the "stagnant" positions of Democrats and Republicans. Over the long term, however, it becomes very difficult for a third party to remain new in the eyes of the voter and failure to win office consistently makes it difficult to secure the funding needed to sustain a challenge to established parties.
What does it mean to call a minor party a spoiled?
Calling a minor party a "spoiled" generally refers to a situation in which the minor party has been given a disproportionate amount of influence or power in a larger political system. This can be the result of a particular party holding the balance of power in a multi-party system or due to the way in which a single-party system has been structured. In either case the minor party has been "spoiled" by the larger political system receiving an amount of power or influence that is disproportionate to its size or popularity.Spoiling a minor party can have a range of effects on the political system including: The minor party has an outsized influence on the policy decisions of the larger political system. The minor party is able to enact a disproportionate amount of its own policies. The minor party can use its influence to extract concessions from the larger political system. The influence of the minor party can lead to gridlock and inaction in the larger political system.In some cases the spoiling of a minor party can lead to positive outcomes such as allowing for more diverse opinions to be heard and giving a voice to a group or community that may otherwise be overlooked. However it can also lead to stagnation or undue influence from a party that is not representative of the larger population.

How does the media influence politics?
Much of the American public forms their opinion on politics and daily events based solely or mainly on the views of the media, so whatever the media reports is what Americans believe.
