It doesn't even matter whether or not the Green party is technically able to win. As long as America has this first-past-the-post voting system, people will have to tactically vote for Democrats, because otherwise the Republicans will win. To stop the current duopoly, there needs to be an electoral reform first. It's probably nearly impossible to get that through but there's no other way.

If it's "probably impossible" then can you explain why Alaska and Maine have already been successful implementing electoral reform? Why are several states working towards getting rid of First Past The Post voting right now?

It's not impossible. This reform is possible at the state level. We don't need an act of God from congress to make this happen. It's already happening, and it can happen in your state to!

yes of course it's possible at state level, but it's the federal level that's hard
