      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.
