You'd think midterms would be a great time to get your name out there and run high profile candidates to win House districts led by charlatans...

If third parties were more effective then the screaming about them "stealing votes" that are supposedly owed to the two main parties would just be louder.
If this lame post from OP was accurate it would say "Isn't it kinda weird that I only think about third parties every 4 years?"
Because they do exist during all of the other years, if you're paying attention
Oh I think about them a lot more often, especially when I look at my midterm ballots and see the occasional third party candidate for a local race, and there's been absolutely no campaigning nor advertising effort. Or, when I see a race that a Republican is running unopposed, and third parties have wasted a perfectly good opportunity in running a candidate there.
If third parties want to win, they cannot rely on people doing personal research beforehand. I like to do so, but I'm certainly in the minority.
