And clowns today will tell you that a third party is doomed to fail because of the scawy two party system and first past the post.
The success of the Republican Party was only possible due to the fact that the Whigs had already crashed and burned, though.
Electorally crashed and burned. Though if you want to start replacing the current two-party system with a new two-party system, now would be a great time to get the gears moving.
Unfortunately, the person best positioned to do that, Bernie Sanders, is also the person least likely to do that. He's rallying people right now, which is good, but I have no idea what for, and I'm not sure he does, either.
