Reminder the progressive party has switched to the democratic side. Maybe take a look into the southern strategy.

I know the policy changed but why didn’t democrats change their name? Like you would think in the modern day they would change it to something else to remove that link to slavery.

Republicans fought to abolish slavery is an objective fact. You can twist in spin in however you want but it’s true. Open a history book or google it

Applying the third party system in the modern context of the sixth (neoconservatism vs neoliberalism) or even seventh (populism if you believe it’s been enough of a shift to constitute a new one) party system is kinda wild.
