Third parties sometimes come to rise through historic events which splitt a traditional political camp.
The greens in Germany gained their power which gave them participation in parlament, govermen and as governor, through various such events.
-Most of them where 1968 generation protest students who could not gain much out of the moderate socialist party
-During the 1980s the conservatives disenfranchised traditional voters by aproving of projects which harmed the enviorment, thereby driving those voters to the greens.
-During the 1990s and early 2000s that power was well used when they first came into goverment by giving this country the best foreign secretery it arguably ever had.
-2 Years ago a brutal police crackdown on a group of old age protesters also gave the greens more power to the extent that they were elected into a governor office.
In the end it is attention which gives new parties their rise into politics. One has to establish oneself through relentlessly and continuously pressing ones issues and showing that the others are incapable of solving those.
One should also lower ones expectations. Third parties never form a goverment. But they can impact the goverments decisions in a great way.
The fact that there are 2 and not 4 or even 5 parties in your congress is the biggest thing i critizise about your democracy.
But then again, even if your congress was on fire it couldnt pass the the "put the fire out in congress" bill.
I am not sure if a third party would change that, third parties simply make compromises in a democray an unavoidable thing for every other party and stubbern hardliners who never compromise lose their possitions. But in your case your senetores campain on the image of being stubbern and not on the image of being people who can work with others. And if a red state would vote for a third party that would only be an even more crazy party which is less capable of compromise. So only the political left would be capable of compromise, which is useless when there is nobody to negotiate a compromise with.
Maybe you should have simply let the South secede so it could have been the shity version of Mexico that it always wanted to be.
