Third parties face significant challenges in winning elections in the United States due to the dominance of the two-party system, primarily the Democratic and Republican parties. This system is reinforced by winner-takes-all electoral processes, which discourage voters from supporting third-party candidates for fear of "wasting" their vote. Additionally, third parties often struggle with limited access to funding, media coverage, and ballot access, making it harder to compete effectively against the established parties. As a result, many voters tend to gravitate toward the two major parties, further entrenching their dominance.
