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.

Fair, but parliamentary systems are a little bit different.
