Okay so technically others are on the table, but realistically you only have two options. My country uses a representative parliament, your party needs to hold a certain amount of votes to enter parliament because each (literal) seat in parliament corresponds to a certain amount of votes. You obviously can't divide a person in two, so you need to clear the bar.
The U.S. has a singular winner. Unless for some reason a very large portion of voters decide to vote for a third party (and the same third party at that), you're unlikely to ever see a third party candidate actually win.
