It’s a truism of American politics that public frustration with the two-party system periodically erupts into a call for another option.
Usually that frustration arises from factions that believe the parties are insufficiently extreme in one direction or another, as is the case with the Green and Libertarian parties that persistently field candidates from the far left and the far right but that rarely have the standing to compete.
It’s worth noting then, that this year, a newly minted third party is seeking votes from a wholly different constituency, the American middle, where untold numbers of voters have had it with the creeping extremism of the major parties.
