I think Libertarian would be a nice third choice, if the party could just get normal people instead of weirdos.

American libertarians are mostly just republicans who want to smoke weed.


It doesn't have to be that way, though. I'm bisexual, so I find the GOP's views on LGBTQ issues abhorrent. Libertarians generally support gay rights.

The "weirdo libertarians" always have. It's the explanations why that causes everyone else to slap on the "weirdo" label.

Political Parties are disease that's only getting worse. If you align yourself with any you are limiting yourself and your capacity to reason.

Nah, I'm good. Feel free to do your own research on it, though

lol that's what I thought.

people always talking out of their ass on here..

In the past two years have democrats done the following:
Rile up white supremacists and nazis enough for them to feel comfortable enough to rally
Have a President get laughed at by the UN
Push forward a SC nomination with very credible rape allegations

This shit is just the tip

Not at all.

Neither one are worth voting for. There are more than two parties, and only the false belief that there are only two options keep them in power.

Your perspective is so short sighted, in this topic and every one. You don't just get to choose a political structure from a list and watch as it's enacted. The one we have now is the result of constant small changes over time. Other countries are the same except they have some violent coups in there.

If you're truly focused on core issues the way to make progress is through a party. That is seriously not going to change. More often the concept in topic title is a cognitive deflection to shield oneself from difficult decisions.

Republicans have earned that fear. They're literally trying to prevent our most vulnerable citizens from voting! They're gutting public welfare programs to fund their agendas and persecuting anyone who may even be perceived as an undocumented immigrant.

What are Democrats doing on that scale? banning straws? lmfao fuck outta here

The other options besides Democrat are both unimpressive ideologically and have no leadership or network or power. I would change my mind if there was another good party, but I don't think it's the responsibility of the existing 2 parties to create a 3rd party. It turns out reaching the hearts and minds of a country as big as ours is a monumental task that requires a lot of money and work. With the rise of the Internet I think a 3rd party is possible, as it could bypass traditional campaign methods cheaply. But to use this half-baked virtue signal as a reason to defend a rapist is really sad. I think your mind is very mixed up and attention seeking, and you'd rather remove yourself from the situation with a haughty laugh than actually think deeply about it.
