Third parties effectively don't exist in this country. Because of the conditions of the American electrical system, the only available options for the future are either the rise of the "democratic socialist" Democratic party faction, which has already been watered down to a weak social democratic faction, or the revolutionary overthrow of the electoral system. The chance of a socialist third party rising under the constraints of the current American system is essentially zero.

Actually besides the Eastern and Western Interconnections there exists a third Texas Interconnection.
The people who maintain these interconnections study at the electrical college.
