In the US, third parties lack the need to put forth candidates who have any clue on how to govern or make sensible policy. A major party gets away with it at their own peril unless they are enjoying the fruits of a favorable district or one party state. And even then, if they perpetually govern like idiots folks will start to notice and at the very least primary out the incompetents. Third parties as they conduct themselves at the moment have no fear of actually having to govern, and thus are free to believe what ever crazy they like and throw all sorts of bombs without fear of losing next election season. The biggest problem for them is being seen as a spoiler, and the hard core supporters get real upset when you mention it and then start running in logic circles to try to prove that they're efforts are so totally not letting the major party they disagree with most win.

So yeah, don't got a favorable opinion of these two. They could of course fix it if they say focused on local races, perhaps getting majority control in a few states to demonstrate they're legitimate and also know how to govern. And maybe spend more time attacking the party candidates they most disagree with instead of the nearest neighbors. I know a guy on facebook who every single day posts 3-10 pro Stein memes (most of which make no sense) and a vast majority of them are attacking Clinton with maybe one every week that's pro Stein. The best it gets is when his attacks are against all major parties. And he has the gaul to get upset when I call him out? Yeah, not really being a positive example.
