The only 3rd party I've ever heavily supported is the now defunct Modern Whig Party. It's sadly not surprising that the party that based it's core values around independent thought, didn't garner the support of general population. People really seem to like the binary hive mind model.

In the early 2000's the Republicans were really worried about a party that was rising, but they were able to slowly but surely erode that party. Can't recall the name of the party but they felt that a high % of the votes that party would get would be primary Republican voters.

Shit, a lot of times they just reform their own party to be more appealing to those that would vote that way, I have a buddy that is quite old and he really liked the 80's and 70's Republican platform and even before Trump came to power he felt his party was dead. Since he didn't have the Republican party he actually felt a part of anymore.
