| | With nearly 15,000 registrants, the WFP is the smallest of New York's third parties (which, apart from the Greens, also include the Independents, Liberals, and Right-to-Lifers.) But the WFP has been building steadily, employing old-fashioned, shoe-leather door-to-door campaigning to build a party of upstate blue-collar whites, urban people of color, and suburban liberals. | | | Familiar though the conundrum may be to progressive voters, it has taken on far greater urgency this election year as disgust with the Democrats has deepened, not least because senators Clinton and Schumerand most of New York's House Democratssupported the president's permanent-war resolution, as well as such over-the-top "anti-terrorism" legislation as the USA Patriot Act. | | | Third parties have long had significant impact on American politicsso much so, in fact, that in the 1890s fusion was outlawed in almost every state. |
