A new CNN poll reveals how people mad at both parties see the midterms

This is why I am an Independent.

The only way you may get some change is from voting enough of D.C. to be real independants. Otherwise an independant prez would just be shunned and blocked by the reps and dems.

But here is the deal, bub...

To do any material change would require great pain. And the people won't go for it. You saw some of this uproar with DOGE bullshit. America has dug itself into a pit and it can't get out of intact.

THIRD PARTY is needed.


1. patriotism to America
2. fiscal conservatism/sunshine/audits ... we are $39 trillion in debt and that actually is bad....
3. no discrimination or preferential treatment
4. make AIPAC a designated FOREIGN LOBBY
5. a DOJ not obsessed with making "Alliance for Treason" above the law as Pam Bondi did last summer
6. born male, you play mens sports and use mens bathrooms
7. use of US military solely for US National Interest, never again for the cause of Zionist Fascism

The problem is, pretty much all third parties aren't in the middle, they are even more to the extreme of the current two parties. Even when it comes to Libertarians they are broken down into Liberatarian left and Libertarian right. If we want voters to vote for someone who represents the middle, we first need a party who represents the middle. And, most Americans don't want to vote for Joe or Jane Shmoe just because they don't have an R or a D next to their name. And, you need the grassroots first, not starting with the president and working your way down. You need to start with the other politicians and work your way up to the presidency.

People are angry at both parties, so their solution is to keep choosing one of the two and wonder why nothing changes. Makes sense to me. America in a nutshell.

Americans’ views of both the Democratic and Republican parties remain deeply negative, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. And in an election year that may turn on which party voters see as the lesser of two evils, the Democrats hold an early advantage.

Republicans are fracked.

The number one complaint of Dems? They aren’t standing up to Trump.

The number one compliant on Pubs? They aren’t standing up to Trump.


“Their most common reasons for disliking Democrats are viewing them as do-nothing (22% say this), saying they’re not standing up enough to Trump and the GOP (11%) or they’re too liberal (10%). Another 9% call them weak or spineless, with another 9% saying the party doesn’t care about people.

Double-haters’ most common reason for disliking the GOP is what they see as the party’s failure to stand up to Trump (14%), followed by a sense that the party doesn’t care about people (10%), views about Trump more generally (8%), and a perception of the party as corrupt (8%).“

But that is with 1%.

Bring in 20% and it will be a very different party. LP is a shell that is legally registered to run candidates. We don't need Musk's checkbook. We need a party to rally behind.

Behind what, losers? The reason the party has gone from about 10% to less than 1% is because they are losers. No one wants to be part of a losing party.

LP never got to 10%.

It would have if Ron Paul hadn't backstabbed Bob Barr, but he did.
