MAGA
Conservatives
Independents
Blue Dog Democrats
Squad/Bernie Bros

I’m for some type of unofficial coalition type of government to slow down these radical swings.

Why not, no infamous historical leaders have come to power by splitting the vote?! Amirite?

Not opposed to idea. Only concern is when media aligns to one as we see today. Could make that one just more powerful. Multiple parties with restrictions on cable news entertainment.

Need a Reform Party to honor Ross Perot.

I’ll defer to John Adam’s:

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”

No thanks. It will just be two groups who team up to get control and frick everyone else. I like keeping it at two options where at least there’s separation.

Then the apparent "protest against the current administration" votes would have been funneled to a more favorable party. Instead of going to MAGA, they would have gone to "conservative" or some other right party leaving democrats behind.

The two party system supports this pendulum bullshite. When one of the parties take action to enact their policies and the other is a placeholder, then over time, the course of the government is dictated by the party that takes action, reducing the choice to policies voters don't want or the delay of policies the voters don't want. That isn't freedom or representation.

Unfortunately, the Leftists learned that they were wasting votes on the Green party and brought in big money to kill it and take over the Democrat party.
