Because we use first-past-the-post in our electins, third parties tend to steal votes from other candidates that may be second best choices. It's why we had George W Bush instead of Al Gore and Donald Trump instead of Hillary. Then again, Lisa Murkowski managed to knock-off a truly repugnant Republican in Alaska, but only due to the fact that Democrats never win there.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
