1. The two parties (Democrat and Republican) already have elected many people to office and therefore both have a great deal of power and influence. It is therefore easier for a voter to influence politics by supporting one of these two parties, than it would be to try to promote some third party, which presently has no power and no elected officials, to a position of power.
2. Most voters find that their particular political interests or opinions are supported by one of the two parties. American politics tend to divide more or less into progressive vs. conservative, and these two categories, represented by the two parties, satisfy most voters.
3. The entrenched parties have lots of money and can afford to spend a lot on their campaigns. Third parties have trouble competing.
4. Because it is very likely that any election is going to be won by a member of one of the two main parties, most people are reluctant to vote for a third party on the grounds that a third party candidate will probably lose, and therefore, to vote for such a candidate accomplishes nothing. If you vote for one of the two main parties, you have at least a chance of helping to elect someone.
