You have every right to be sick and tired of this but it doesn't make you right. Currently they have a zero chance to win but there are rules set in place by the Dems and Reps that prevent them from competing. If a third party candidate can poll at 15 percent for instance they've surpassed that barrier to entry into a national debate. There are other hurdles too but constantly voting out of fear makes this impossible.

In addition saying they emerge as if their only goal is to circumvent the election isn't true at all. You can see a list of non affiliated candidates working for people all year at the link below.
