No it's not. The American greens get tons of money from right wing billionaires, because they want to exploit the spoiler effect. They don't need to spend money maintaining the two party system, the spoiler effect does it for them.

America needs voting reform, a switch to instant runoff.

    Astonishing to see how motivated people seem to be to push this conspiracy theory FUD, when the Greens are the only party to refuse corporate donors as a matter of principle.

    Lol. Enter magician Jill Stein stage right. She magically appears right before an election, siphons votes, then magically disappears again after the election.

    And in 2024 she managed to accumulate a massive 0.5% of the total votes cast. A true contender for the 15 seconds she was around.

    Why can't the "smartest people in the room" change the voting system to remove or lessen the spoiler effect? You say it happens every election, so why dont democrats get ahead of the "problem" by making these crucial electoral reforms?
