    That’s only ever happened temporariily during a shifting of the power and influence of the parties. And although it’s may appear we had three parties, only two are really in power at a time. Also, the third always loses relevance and disappear.

    Frankly, this isn’t a matter of opinion, anyway, and to frame it as such is either ignorant or malicious. It is literally_impossible_ to sustain three parties within the rules of our voting and political system.

      I would say the collapse of the Whigs is pretty relevant, seeing as how that is one of the things that made America edge closer to the Civil War.

      Also, your ad hominum about ignorance and maliciousness is shitty. You are being a jerk.
