Not going to happen in the near future that I can tell. It would require a politically catastrophic event for one or both parties, like being split in two. Or another party getting millions of signatures and becoming a major party. But even more, you need to reform the system, which neither party is willing to do as long as it's in power.I just had a fairly terrifying thought.
If a strong, viable and popular third party party can't rise up in the middle of THIS partisan disaster, maybe it never CAN.
Is it possible that independent and moderate voices are now so unwelcome in both "major" parties that they will no longer be allowed to see the light of day? Did we, as country, shut the door to independent and moderate thought so quickly and so firmly that they simply no longer have a place?
I hope I'm wrong here.
