Doubt it... the two major parties have systematically made it more
difficult in every state over the past few decades to get a third party
candidate on the ballot, some against the last presidential turnout...
with that record turnout, it becomes harder still.
Best chances are getting involved in local politics at precinct level
and try to shape better candidates from within the parties. There are
movements in both D and R to do this, but money is still money and it
doesn't always work. Of course this also leads to more extreme
positions from candidates in both camps and less negotiation when they
get into office. It's a mixed bag, but I think getting the sellouts out
first is probably the prudent choice, as long as neither side gets a
super majority again.
