Every once in a great while, a third-party with a a new and influentual ideology does emerge to shake the system up a bit. In that case, what usually happens is that one of the major parties usually absorbs that ideology into their platform. Hell, the democrats and republicans nearly had a diametric reversal of their platforms during the late 1800's to early 1900's because of some grass roots third parties, so you can't say that third parties don't matter to some degree.
