How do we get a viable third party

Well, I don’t see what all the debate is about when clearly there is a factual answer to the OP’s question.

You’d have to convince the institutions of state power that you’d do a better job than their current representatives. That would be almost impossible. If they lost that much faith they’d either put their own people into the current parties or make their own.

So find a way to bring about the dissolution of the United States and maybe you could do it. Good luck with that.

Wait, wait: What are these “institutions of state power,” that they are something different from “their current representatives”?
