I’m not going to argue with your core point, but New York is a state where the Working Families Party successfully beat the centrist Republican-aligned Independent Democrat Conference in the state Senate. This led to the New York Court of Appeals overturning current electoral maps and opens the door for a Democrat-favorable map for 2024.
Conditions in NY are atypical and the success of the Working Families Party can’t be trivially duplicated but it’s one of the best examples of long term strategic third party activity we have in the U.S.
