It’s August 9th. On this day in 1848, former President Martin Van Buren was nominated as the presidential nominee for the breakaway Free Soil Party. The party was short-lived, but influential, and partly responsible for the Republican party’s anti-slavery stance.

Jody and Niki discuss the FSP, MVB, and what conditions it takes for a viable third party to arise in American politics.
