For any “third-party” cheerleaders out there...
1968 was the last election that a third-party candidate (Wallace) won any electoral votes.
That’s why they are referred to as “third-party”; because they ALWAYS finish third!
Interesting.
1968 was also the last year a presidential candidate was selected by a party who did not go through the primary process.
Hubert Humphrey.
I will also say this. While 1968 was a tumultuous and pivotal year in American politics and in our culture at home and abroad... 1968 was a Sunday School picnic compared to the shitstorm 2020 was.
