I knew that the last time a third party won in US was when Lincoln won, as a Republican. But I did not know that it was #FusionVoting that made it happen. Let’s make GOP a #ThirdParty again. Let’s build a better opposition so we can have a better coalition.

Ripon, Wisconsin was the birthplace of the GOP in 1854—thanks to fusion voting. Anti-slavery Whigs, Free Soilers & Liberty Party members joined forces to oppose the Kansas-Nebraska Act. A new party was born, and the power of coalition politics changed history. 🗳️📜
