Here is an example of a successful third party in a 2 party FPTP voting system that people keep insisting is impossible in the US because "muh RCV required"

If the people who shill that change is impossible in a FPTP system could read anything that doesn't agree with the propaganda the state loves, they'd be very upset.

Never forget that Republicans were a third party at one time. They weren't even on the ballot for most states in 1860, due to their abolitionist policies.

It's 2025, no longer the Democrats vs the Whigs. But I guess no one has read history books either.

I can't wait for the US socialist party to get ousted by a military coup in 2053

PSL has already existed since 2004, so we should be closer!

Is having a great depression/war a prerequisite?
