Ironically, third party candidates have a better chance during midterms because of low voter turnout, especially in local elections.

our voting system is a false dichotomy that’s been manufactured by both the republicans and democrats legally squeezing out alternatives as much as possible and socially manipulating our perceptions of a third option for decades.
