With the strong possibility of a 3rd party entering the fray in the near future, some questions need to be asked of Conservatives.

If you decide to vote 3rd party:

1. Are you willing to let the Dems win, while fracturing the Conservative vote with the Republicans? At least in the beginning?

2. How long are you willing to take losses, if the 3rd party continues to grow?

3. How many 2-year election cycles do you think it would take for a 3rd party to be competitive?

Going to lose no matter what because the elections are now rigged.

I was independent before Trump, and I am now independent again. If Trump starts a new party, I would have to see how things go before I join.

We’re losing now.

But it will probably spawn a 4th party of socialists.

Losses are assured in any case using the latest voting procedures.

Yes because they’ll never be able to fix the votes again if there is a new party.

Yes

Centrist conservatives have been losing for over 30 straight years in this country at least.

Anyone who thinks the Republicans will fight the Democrats much less that they give a single shite about you is either ignorant or delusional

You mean a second party?

The American voters have no power putting people into office. The political establishment decides.

It has to get worse before it gets better. So define “lose”?

3rd party only works when 1 side isn’t cheating.


We are the ncaa trying to prove Alabama didn’t cheat despite pics of cars, cash, etc...

We can’t, but we aren’t stupid either.

I have no confidence that I will ever see anything near conservative in the WH, Senate or House in my lifetime. I'm OK. I hate it for my granddaughter.

When we voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 we risked losing.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Shooters shoot.

Nut up buttercup.
