I have to agree that this sounds incredibly like a new political party, but I also understand why they don’t want to go that far.
I think it would be very difficult for a split from the Democrats to work (presumably a spilt from their party due to the Sanders-like platform which has no resemblance to anything the GOP proposes, save from Trump of all people). All that would do is dilute the vote so that the GOP comes right up the middle even without popular support.
I think the only way a new party would work is if both Democrats and GOP split into new parties at the same time. The fascists could have their party, the rest of the GOP can have their Whig-based party, the Democrats could split into centrist and left wing parties which they are clearly a merging of.
Rather than winner takes all contests, you’d see groups forced into coalitions where more voices are heard and respected. Well, hopefully not from the fascists too much.
