Because they aren't. If they were a major player, then they'd be a major player.

(I'm not being a smartass--much--but ideological issues aside, you can't get elected if you're not on the ballot. And it's just too hard to get on the ballot if you're not a Democrat or Republican. Sure, it happens here and there, but under the current rules it'd be all but impossible for a third party to have a national ballot presence on a consistent basis.)
