Support for a 3rd party at an all time high

[Cinnabar]

The USA was never meant to be a duopoly. People are disgusted with policies that favor the rich donors.

THE PEOPLE’S PARTY

Our vision is a major new progressive populist party that will deliver what regular people take for granted in so many other countries: single-payer health care, free public college, money out of politics, an infrastructure jobs program, a $15 minimum wage, financial regulations, and more.

The People’s Party is opening nominations for its first generation of candidates. The national People’s Party, in collaboration with our state chapters, will be supporting a diverse and dynamic slate of about a dozen congressional candidates in the 2022 midterm elections. These future representatives will help us blaze a trail for races at every level of government and shape the movement to give a real voice and choice to the voters of America.

You cannot change or reform either of the existing parties from within.

Yep the Dems need to split into traditional Democrats and Progressive parties.

Republicans should go for The Party of God.

support might be at an all time high, but I watched over 150 million American idiots discard that 'support' in order to beat a guy they hated........which shows a general lack of intelligence or wisdom on their part

How would the People's Party differ from the Green Party?

[PostmodernProphet]

so 62% of people polled think there should be a third party, but in any election with a third party they get 5% of the vote......we should believe polls......

the only factual information from those numbers is that 57% of those people are too scared to vote their principles, so they vote out of fear/hate

Agreed on the disgust and that the two major parties are incapable of reforming themselves.

or lesser of two evils. There's also the peer pressure of from publicly saying "I voted Third party" where the nutjobs on both the Left and the Right go ballistic screaming about "wasted votes" and "fence sitters".

Too bad Trump was a self-serving, anti-Constitutional fucking moron.

[reagansghost]

a third party would absolutely destroy the GOP

today's gop voters, Trumpers and non Trumpers, ALWAYS vote party line, Trump or not. then two thirds of the them, Trumpers, would vote only Trumpism, the rinos would get behind someone like Pence or Santorum....a HARD split, leaving the Dems with a 20pt edge at least

I look at it as a protest vote which often denies even the winner much more than 50% of the vote, if that much. A win is a win, but having half or more of the country voting against you isn't a "mandate" for running the country. Despite all the whining by the Hillary fans about "3 million votes", 53.9% of the country voted against her.

2000 Bush wins with 47.9% of the vote.

2004 Bush wins with 50.7% of the vote.

2008 Obama wins with 52.9% of the vote.

2012 Obama wins with 51.1% of the vote.

2016 Trump wins with 46.1% of the vote.

2020 Biden wins with 51.3% of the vote.
