> At this particular juncture in time third parties lack adequate and sufficient political organization and economic financial strength to compete with the Democrat and Republican Parties.

Almost every single time historically that a third party was able to take over this statement appeared to be true.

The truth is Duveger's law has some relevance, but not in the way people think. It means that until a third party has majority support it will remain at <2% in elections. Once it gainst traction you will see it flip in a single election cycle from 2% to 51+%, just as has happened every time. This sudden jump, rather than a gradual chance, is the effects of the law at play. Ya see the law doesnt mean a two party system, it just means the transitions will manifest in votes abruptly rather than gradually.

This means it will always look like they "dont have the strength" right before they win, thats the nature of the dynamic. That is also why we shouldnt let it decide our vote.
