However, note what I stated at the end of the answer. Third party representatives within the US government is essential to be won over especially when trying to pass controversial party-aligned bills that may not garner support from the opposition. In cases like these, the major parties would try to appease the third parties in order to flip the majority vote to their side. In this case, they play an important role in influencing the US politics, but in any other cases, they are merely representative at best.
