Why does the 3rd party always have to be the fringe folks?

I think the time to start that 3rd party (centrist) is now.

Think we could get Saban to be our first candidate out of the gate?

Saban is a liberal. I know that's like hearing John Wayne sucked dick but it's true.

I'm sorry, Trump is your third party. All hail Cheetoh Jesus!

And Saban is a liberal POS.

Because rational people understand that our political system is too heavily slanted towards a two-party system to support a third party. Such support is tantamount to a protest vote that no one cares about.

I think both parties are quickly fragmenting due to takeover by their fringe elements. Moderates have nowhere to go...that's why this is the perfect time.

That's fine. I will protest vote until a critical mass gathers. Let Rome burn until then.

Libertarians will be a real player within the next 2 or 3 elections.

If not as a true 3rd party, it will be as a libertarian lite Republican candidate

It's coming and it needs to get here in 2020 IMO

Step one: No party affiliation on any ballot. Have to get this done in every state.

There is no step two without step one.

The current parties have it slanted so it's difficult to come in on a third party ballot. You have to come up with more signatures on a petition and you have to pay more to enter your name on a ballot. I don't recall what the figures are. There needs to be some reform in this dept, but the swamp doesn't want the competition.

We had our chance in 2008 and 2012.

Unless you have a support system of 3rd party people in the House & Senate it doesn't do much good. However, the Libertarians should have begged Rand to be their nominee and they could have had a legit shot. But nope they put that fool Johnson up there.


Plus you have to remember something, people don't really want change they just want to bitch about change. This board lost it's mind when the HFC torpedoed Ryan's first attempt at a vote for the AHCA.

Can we just skip to the 4th party? It won't take long before you are mad at the third party.

Do not need 3rd party if there was a way to make primaries fair

So yeah I guess we need one

Problem is whichever side splinters will cost itself a couple of elections so it won't happen

Fringe? Dems and Pubs are the fringe.

We have a 3rd party that SHOULD be the 1st party. Constitution Party
