The Bipartisanim is a Known thing in The USA, that for a lot of people can be called a problem because the whole thing cause problems like blocking the whole politic scene to two visions and inner party vision of the Democrats and Republicans member. The Republican party for example can be seen for his Conservatism or as it is recently dominated by pro-trump ideologies like some Right Wing Populism and National-Liberalism. when some less Radical Conservatives Figures or just liberals where overshadowed by trumpism. While on the Democratic side is more directed by ideology and modern ideology like “Progressism”. They have not some “Major Figures” like trump. The Historical Case of Third party trying to break the Bipartisan System would be George Wallace* with a dissident candidacy from the democratic party, George Wallace was a southerner dixiecrat of the Democrats that after watching his own party passing civil right, what he opposed created his own Party. Promoting segregation and Anti-Liberalism stance he would obtain 13,5% of the votes. The run for this Presidency would be one of the the most controversial and Rioty**. The 1968 elections were the closest to chaos. On The other hand you could Talk About Ross Perot***, Ross Perot Was an American Business man who is known for his patriotism and involvement to save american prisoner of war in Vietnam or in the Teheran Hostage Crisis, His Candidacy will be known for his opposition to recent economic treaties and for advertising by explaining his views precisely to americans on tv****. He would lose with a 19% of the Voice of the Electors.

In Conclusion the bipartisanism has always been challenged by high scores but never beaten by anyone. and that made a good summary for the American System Third Party Challenge
