I'd be inclined to wait until after the 2024 election to see how well their presidential candidate does, but if they either get a similar vote total as Blankenship did in 2020, or fail to nominate a presidential candidate at all (which seems unlikely not but impossible), they should definitely be demoted imo

When a party overtakes them.

I have a former member of the party in my Discord who points out they are bleeding members and are seemingly ready to be succeeded as #5 in the near future

E Pluribus Unum: When a party overtakes them.

Technically in 2020 both the Alliance Party and PSL overtook the Constitution Party in votes, though both cases can be attributed to De La Fuente and La Riva getting on the ballot in California but not Blankenship (the former using the American Independent Party funnily enough, which historically was how the Constitution Party got on the ballot in the state) so those are arguably special cases. Again, in my view if something like that happens again in 2024 there's a stronger case for demoting them, but not until then.

More generally, I am curious to what degree the American Solidarity Party could end up filling the niche of a conservative Christian party in the US (though I'm sure at least some in the ASP would object to being called conservative)

I meant in membership numbers, for nationwide parties, they are still #5. But again bleeding membership fast, since they currently rely on old dying men while todays Baby Paleocons are flocking to the Trump Cult.

The ASP is wildly considered to be the next forerunner for the #5 Spot, which makes sense given it's niche is TECHNICALLY the second largest voting base (At least according to 2017 Polling), but I am not sure how powerful the party can really become especially to fill the Right-Wing Niche. Tho parties and figures like it are growing in places like Europe (Galloway and Wagenknecht), and at least online we are seeing the rise of Third Positionism which on paper is a more radical version of what the ASP espouses, so maybe they have a future?

Or they will just get it by the Constitution Parties eventual dissolution, which I very much expect. Their frontrunner rn is a Trump Supporter, so....
