I think now with the increase of the spread of information, the vacuum wouldn't last long, if at all.
If it did, I'd guarantee a split in the Dems, along the Liberal and Progressive lines.
Yeah, but on top of that, we aren't used to dissolving a party and/or having several newly-viable third parties with huge name backers that come and go every several years.
That tends to remove a lot of the energy toward destroying and recreating a party.
Now we tend to do a lot more of what our forefathers did: have non-partisan (but very much ideological) social movements in an attempt to adjust the priorities of either the Republican or Democratic parties.
