    You can only get more parties by ditching first past the post voting, and pushing for something better like ranked choice voting.

        Ranked choice would actually let people pick both an independent as first choice together with the safe choice as second (and the bad choice dead last)

          I agree. Voting third party for president does not solve this problem.
