The endless loop of self defeating thinking.
Plenty of parties start with a few percent and then grow.
Yet the banana republic keeps fooling itself with this BS and delude themselves they can fix this party.
Really shouldn't complain then, you get what you deserve.
No sympathy here.

In a FPTP election system? OK, let's hear it. What are some parties that grew to power under FPTP elections.

I don't live in your banana republic, I'm talking about the rest of the world where they have at least semi-democratic elections and where the public aren't pacified pussied resigning in their fate.
But probably your navelstaring shithole is unaware of that since americans generally 'think you're all that exists and your ridiculous joke system is the pinnacle of democracy.
Well carry on and suffer while going down the shitter, it's a gift to the world anyway.
