    Default THE RISE OF THE THIRD PARTY

    THE RISE OF THE THIRD PARTY

    We are not a small base. At every election we become tighter and realize this. You may call us independents, but we are the THIRD PARTY.

    We are the vast middle of America. And that is not a geographic reference to you ignorant democrats.

    The THIRD PARTY is coming. We are not homogeneous. We represent true America.

    Why not lol?

    This is a weird time, politically. And it goes beyond the Trump phenomenon. Democrats are lurching mindlessly to the left and leaving large swaths of the electorate exposed. I’ve said it a thousand times: if Bill Clinton boarded a time machine in the 90’s and plopped down into 2018, he’d look at today’s Democrats and give a great big WTF?!

    So if there is room for a third party, Democrats have left the door open for one.

    been there, done that..you can get some success at a local level -maybe like Mn.elects an independent governor
    But I don't think there is even an indy Congressperson -except Bernie -and we know he's just a Democrat

    Okay...something I can get behind here.

    I'd love to see guys like you three...and the others like you...start a third party movement.

    Yeah!

    I love it.

    And you think you guys would take votes away from the progressive minded voting population!

    Oh, well...good for a laugh.

    locally, maybe even at a state level, 3rd parties are possible, but on the federal level the democrats and republicans would rather see the nation burn to death than to have any other party threaten their power.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    No there isn't and I'm an independent as well.

    But, you are still stupid and naive. So there it is.

    Which is why we must overcome.

    Rise up brother! If we believe we are defeated, we are defeated.

    A third party isn't enough. Ross Perot almost succeeded with the Reform Party which ultimately floundered. We have the Libertarian Party for die-hards like me .
    I'd rather continuously vote for the losing team at least until one of the two parties nominates an acceptable candidate which I haven't seen from repubs since GHWB and never seen from dims in my lifetime.

    Goals I would like to see set by a thitd party:
    single payer healthcare. Tired of insurance companies profiting for simply being a middleman. Let's do their job ourselves and keep that profit they take. Parasites!

    Spend less on defense and use the money to fund single payer

    Legalize marijuana federally and pardon non.violent offenders.

    I'm sorry, but that is a defeatist attitude. With that mindset we will never have a third party.

    I'm sick of the democrats and the republicans.

    Neither party represents me and it seems they don't represent you. And I don't think they represent millions of Americans.
