I’m curious if you felt the system was broken in 1820? 1901? 1996? Generally with the rise of a third part in history it’s been because the fall of one of the two major parties, leading to us having only two viable parties for POTUS for the vast majority of our time as a nation.

I think that one of the takeaways we should consider from the last few weeks was the not-complete-success of dairy and starches together in the water bath, and maybe there’s a different way to go about that.
