Waste of time. Yang is smart enough to know this. If he wants a viable new party, he needs to put all his time and energy lobbying to take money out of the elections. And vocally supporting the candidates who propose doing so.Most likely this latest attempt, and the next few, will flame out fairly quickly.
We have to keep trying, though, before this ridiculous, fucked up duopoly finally brings us down.
Good luck!

Ranked choice in the state of WA is advancing the top two candidates to the general election regardless of party. That IS how it works. It smacks of corruption especially in states that have extreme numbers of one party or another---like the west coast of the US.But thats not how ranked choice works...
You might be confusing it with instant runoff and that still wouldn't work...
Please give more detail of what you think how Ranked choice works and how someone can win by loading the field.
Many of us, across the political spectrum, have had enough. These two parties have clearly failed us within the current system.Waste of time.
Ranked voting system is very popular around the world and produces the generally solid governments...
I don't think the US has much exposure to it, it is quite a different way of governing....
Joeb,
It is first past the post that creates a two party system... UK has generally got the same problem, for the same reason...

The reason we are in this condition, the reason we have the horrible "choices" that we have, the reason the lunatics are now running the asylum, is because our current system allows for it. It incentivizes it. It rewards it.
Yes, this will very difficult. Even quixotic. I get it. But America used to be able to do difficult things. My least favorite emotion is regret. I will not look back and wish that I had tried.

It is the only real way to fix anything.
In fact, I would support a "Term-Limits" single-issue party. I would vote for candidates who swear to vote down every bill including spending/omnibus/whatever bills and only vote for a constitutional amendment for term limits.
NopeWe already have term limits. They are called "elections".
Nope
Sorry

I think ALL have served too long.Explain.
If you think YOUR congressman has served too long, you have the option to vote him out.
The problem is, you want to force out Congressmen in OTHER districts whose voters are just fine with his staff propping him up for votes.

Me included. Been hearing it for decades. And yet...Many of us, across the political spectrum, have had enough. These two parties have clearly failed us within the current system.
That's right. Money talks. And big donors like to bet on candidates that can actually win. There is no "win place show" feature to that bet. There is win or lose.The reason we are in this condition, the reason we have the horrible "choices" that we have, the reason the lunatics are now running the asylum, is because our current system allows for it. It incentivizes it. It rewards it.

Critters become so by long stays in DC.
I want 2 term limits for ALL, just like the POTUS.

For someone who has the bill of rights as their picture you seem to forget most of our founding fathers said a two party system was one things they feared about our nation.A ‘third party’ isn’t the answer, of course.
And the problem isn’t the two-party system.
The problem – as always – is the willful ignorance, apathy, stupidity, and laziness of the American people.
Real solutions and reform come only at the very local level, when voters participate and get involved.
The American people are solely responsible for the bad government they get, not a ‘duopoly.’
This guy is the problem.Tell me something, when you are going to have major surgery, do you want the kid fresh out of medical school, or the doctor who has been practicing for 20 years?
The fact is, the "congress critters" you talk about end up staying a long time because they ARE effective. That's why their voters keep returning them.
Now, I'd have no problem with an upper age limit on public service, such as let's say, 72 years, mandatory retirement.
