This is a perspective than can only be held in a political system that has devolved to a two-party system.
If you step out of that, it stops making sense. A democracy allows for people to express their actual opinion. Anything less than that is not a proper democracy. I'd argue there are no "third parties" in a proper democracy.

Regime manufacturers legitimacy via captured political process and peasants accept this arrangement despite not being represented within the government broadly speaking is my thesis.
