    Not the one concerned, but the two party system used to include the wigs. One party can get dismantled and I think it would only happen with bottom up pressure, and grass roots.

      Yep, that’s my point entirely. With the current two party system, voting third party is purely a spoiler vote without mass grassroots pressure like Unionization and winning local elections. They’ve argued against building up that bottom-up pressure as pointless, and instead advocated for voting third party, getting the order entirely wrong.

      With the current dem/rep split, voting Democrat is what leftists should do purely as loss prevention. It’s only with genuine outside, bottom-up pressure that third party could ever be viable.
