America will always be a 2 party system. But a different party could replace one of the existing parties.
Comment on If I live in a red state, would it be better to vote for rfk to take votes away from trump?
Etterra@lemmy.world 1 month agoI mean statistically in a state THAT red your there will never be enough blue votes to overcome the stupidity of the rural class, so it may not matter. Still voting for the off brand inside a 2 party system is a very bad habit to encourage. Just vote for Biden.

If that were the case anymore, it would’ve happened after the 1912 election when Theodore Roosevelt’s Progressive party got more votes (27.4and electors than the Republican (Taft). But it didn’t. Things went back to normal after that. That was also the election where the Socialist party gained the most votes (6%).
The Republicans and Democrats are here to stay until our voting system is overhauled.

Georgia proved that wrong last election. Imagine if put of nowhere Texas voted blue due to all the abortion bans, Republicans would shut themselves.
