I’d really like a third party….but Musk?  I really don’t like him but I would be willing to see what the platform is all about.  So long as the Nazi salute isn’t part of its identity.

Musk is a no for me, dawg. 

 

If a party can come out with the no bullshit/common sense approach, they'll get my support.  Both parties are a bunch of clowns as it is today.

European politics is not any more functional than ours.

@boogie Oh, you mean a party representing the middle 80% instead of the extreme 10% on each side? Absurd idea, youngster. How old are you?

How about a party that explicitly and overtly focuses only on economic issues?

No abortion policy, no LGBT, just economics. 

Kind of like the Green Party.

People like to idealize some party of the center that is pragmatic and technocratic and only cares about solving problems for the American people. 

Problem is that party will still be made up of people and subject to endure all the restrictions, temptations and foibles of the same electoral system. And it would have no identity, no principles other than “pragmatism”.

 

Would never work. Said party would suck just as bad as the others, maybe more. The U.L. had had what? Four Prime Ministers in four years? 

Who’s the model? France? Dysfunctional. U.K.? Dysfunctional. Parliamentary systems SUCK! Even under the U.S. system you’d likely get even more gridlock than you see now. More omnibus cowardice with a third mouth at the trough.
