I read this, and wrote a BUNCH of notes. They are non-exaustive (I didn’t look at everything, and might in the future, especially if people request it.)
For a bit of context, here’s what the secondaries are: (I mention them in one of my comments)
because the 2 parties are largely only stable because people consider them to be stable, if people considered different parties to be stable, they would be the stable parties. So, if there were an unnoficial election held through a better system (such as approval voting) to decide which 2 parties would be the main parties for that election, AND people considered it to be stable, we would have a fairer system and subvert needing approval from politicians. Now, with enough of these 3rd party candidates in power, they would have an incentive to change the voting system to allow for 3rd parties more permanently.
Also, for my final note on the “growing triangle”, I’d like to add this:
This also works with more than 3 parties.
Oh, and also, a “red line” keeps being mentioned, one where any given wntity puts its foot down, and one where polarization is too far gone to stop, or too far gone to reverse. I wonder how a president publicly aiming for or getting for a third term would play into this? Maybe looking at how similar entities reacted to Franklin D. Roosevelt running for a 3rd term?
Also, this picture should show the order of each of these images, assuming I did things right:
