I think the opportunity is better this time around.
Democrats and Republicans secured a two party system and locked everyone else out because of a few things:
Finances and resources.
Media coverage. During debates, they had secret handshake deals to only argue against each other, which forces media to only cover them.
Musk got resources. He spent a lot to get Orange Man in power. And TV and news is already lower on the trust scale, as the population leans towards social media.
There’s a few other issues like local/state elections that won’t be friendly to non-Democrat/non-republican parties.
Of course, this is all a pipe dream and like the libertarian party, it’ll quickly get thrown aside and the politicians will fold into one of the two parties.
