With the artificial props withdrawn from the pre-primary phase, the two-party system those props held together will surely come apart as more folks see the new opportunities they now have. Voters, like activists, have been liberated from the two majors, because strong insurgencies now have a chance at winning like never before. Weak identifiers are now free to vote their true policy preferences without incurring the penalty of a "wasted" vote. All they need to see is a viable alternative. Only if we say it can't be done, it won't be done.
Progressives, unite online! Only a defeatist attitude can defeat us!
