What structural features would a new political party need to be viable in the U.S. today?
Confidence requires clarity.
Assume someone were trying to build a political organization from scratch in the current U.S. environment, outside the existing two-party framework.
Setting ideology aside, what structural elements would determine whether it survives long-term rather than becoming either irrelevant or absorbed into one of the major parties?
For example:
Leadership selection and internal governance
Funding model and donor structure
Participation between election cycles
Ballot access and state-by-state scaling
How it avoids becoming personality-driven
How it maintains accountability without fracturing
Historically, most third-party efforts have struggled not just because of policy disagreements but also because of institutional constraints and incentive structures.
Curious how people think about viability from an organizational design perspective rather than a policy one.
