Stop the presses! Our system of self-governance will catapult a fringe party to national prominence and majoritarian rule in spite of the supposed gubermintal conspiratorial oppression, provided their ideas resonate with a very large number of people. I'm sorry to break the news to you, but the LP ain't that vehicle since it is a humanist moral-liberal construct rooted in fantasy ideology.

The Republican Party has never been a fringe party. In 1856, the first Presidential election featuring a Republican candidate, they received 114 of 296 electoral votes. The Republican Party, behind Abraham Lincoln, won the Presidency in 1860.

The Republicans were never a 'fringe' third party. Upon the death of the Whig Party, a portion of the Whig constituency and other dis-affected (non-Democrats) created the modern-day Republican in 1854-1855.
