If these third parties had any appeal they wouldn't be obscure third parties I think the two-party system is rather organic.
Agreed on organic which is why there are only two viable parties at a time....but those parties change. The Republican party is long overdue for a personality makeover or to be replaced by sane conservatives. The Democrats were always fucked up. Will Rogers even said so:
“I don't belong to an organized political party — I'm a Democrat”
I think it's in their ideological DNA, but Republicans were always sane, logical and methodical...until the 1990s when they started to go nuts.
