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

[Independent thinker]

Rather, it is a 1% shell that can be used by the 60% unhappy with the two party system.

Once it gets to 20% the 1% who voted for the disaster candidate in 2024 won't matter.

You are deranged if you actually believe that will happen. Yes, independents are increasing just as both Democrats and Republicans are decreasing but they are INDEPENDENTS, not Libertarians. They are independents because they don't want to be Libertarians. You have to accept that reality.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Depends on the specifics.

Tell me what the Democrats are putting forth as a platform for the mid terms?

What’s their message other than hate Trump, and half of the population?

That is literally their entire message. No hyperbole, no insulting exageration of their position's weakness. That is it and all of it.

That is absolutely all they talk about publicly, and privately they talk about how they need to increase their attacks on Donald Trump.

 

[EMH]

The polls show no such thing. That's in your mind. Show me one Libertarian in first place in the polls ANYWHERE. There are none, not one.

You are obviously obsessed with supporting the Only Israel Matters Party. You don't want the rest of the Republicans to bolt. Sorry. Trump sold out. Time to bolt. You are exhibit A of why everyone patriotic to America (not Israel) should bolt to LP.

Laughable, since sticking with the 2 parties is suicide for America. The past quarter century proves it. IQ over 5 required.

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

Yeah, a party like that would be good. But more than a 3rd party, we need a new 2nd party.

The Democrats have turned into the "Argument Clinic" skit from Monty Python. They exist only to oppose anything Trump says or does. Combined with the "Abuse" office where the guy first mistakenly went that hurled insults at him.

A party such as you describe would be ideal to take their place. Our system, for better or for worse, has always fostered exactly two relevant parties and dozens of no seat, no elector wannabes. The times a third party person has had any effect has been when it is a billionaire financing his own campaign.* Then they largely act as spoilers more than legitimate contenders.

The only reason the DNC is relevant is because of the entrenched incumbents in the House and Senate, and states like New York, Illinois and California in which people robotically vote Democrat. Even with that, the "Jungle Primary" of California may put the GOP on top, if the Dem candidates don't volunteer to thin out the herd.

*I think a segregationist ran third party during the 60's, but I don't remember how successful he was.

I would love to support a relevant third party as I hate both the Democrat party and the Republican party. But, there are no relevant third parties. I was big on Ross Perot's Reform party but they imploded. I was also hoping the "No Labels" party would work out. They didn't. And, I'm not voting for Joe or Jane Schmoe just because they aren't D's or R's. That's stupid. And, my litmus test for a party includes many things, while your litmus test seems to only be that they are not Zionists/Fascist Israel supporters.

What is laughable is you thinking a party getting .47% of the vote is a relevant party.

 

[EMH]

I was big on Ross Perot's Reform party but they imploded.

At that time

Dems were over 40%
GOP was 35%

25% independent

Now it is 45% independent


MATH MATTERS

Agree, so it's also a fact that if we lose to that? then we deserve what we get....

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.

https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/03/politics/cnn-poll-double-haters-democrats-midterms

Democrats are clearly a cancer, and Republicans and Trump are the only ones trying to improve the lives of people.

What needs to change is the leftwing media needs to be eliminated. Then people wouldn't even entertain the notion that Democrats are capable of leading or helping anyone.

That's it. That's all. No more to say.

I think Republicans are in deeper shit. If you look at the reason that the double haters hate Democrats is because they do not think that Democrats are standing up to Trump. 42% of these people have some variation on this theme.

Republicans are a cancer and attack ordinary people. They are corrupt and work with the rich and powerful and against ordinary people.

That's the paid talking point, but it isn't reality.
