How about we finally start working towards a 3rd party?

What do you mean "finally"? People have been trying that over and over and failing for over 100 years. It would be great to have a multiparty system, but there are unintended structural forces in place that will always prevent that. None of us alive today created this system. We are all stuck with it just like you. But ignoring reality just makes someone into a lifetime loser. There is nothing you can gain by making yourself into a lifetime loser.

    He says, in a thread about how the party is so devoted to the losing strategy of pandering right and punching left that it's trying to oust its own vice chair.

    As far as I'm aware, most 3rd parties in the U.S. have been some kind of offshoot of the 2 party system rather than an actual uprising of We the People are tired of being led by losers. We all agree on some very basic shit and this other stuff has been a distraction that led us to this point so we could be divided and conquered..

    Let's agree to the basic shit, revolt against these dickheads and rebuild something better as Americans.
