Great. Best way to have a revolution is for you all to quit voting for the duopoly and throw them all out.

You ready to get on board?

The concept is good but the only thing a third party would accomplish is the undermining of the two-party system. Such as, the conservative side would never again see power because of all the votes siphoned away by the third party, same for the left.
The only way to defeat the now corrupt political system is to vote for, what the founding father envisioned, public servants. Career politicians have to go. Do a term in office and then return to the public sector and get rich there instead of on our dime.

You say this like it is a bad thing. We need to blow up the two party system, it is destroying our country

But we won't do that because each side has convinced their followers the other side is evil so that they will vote for them no matter what they do.

Congress have approval ratings in the 20s or below, yet incumbents win reelection at a greater than 90% clip. This is a direct result of the two party system

Read it again. I am not arguing that the system isn't broken. Just that a third party would not solve the problem of living under career politicians. Do you really think that those wheeling and dealing to get elected would act any different than today's corrupt career politicians? If so, you are sadly mistaken.

By most economic indicators, people are doing better

3.6 percent unemployment, better job opportunities, increased wages, rising Stock Market, rising real estate

Problem is rising prices which is happening globally

They have to pay a lot more for food and gas. They also have to pay a lot more for a house.

How is that better off?

Another total leftwing falsehood or outright lie. At the time of Biden's election in January of 2021 the Dow closed at 36,107. From that point on the DOW fell until it bottomed out at about 33,000. That happened under Biden's watch and he is responsible for all his dangerous decisions and failures and the left is 100% complicit.

Biden took office on Jan 21 2021
Dow was 31,000

Today ist is at 34,500

Use that date, not when he was elected

 

[HenryBHough]

For now I AM better off.

Stocking up on items now in shortage has prevented a lot of the pain others are feeling.

But it'll get better. I'm already turning away offers to buy fertilizer. Holding out for better prices.

Calls into question a friend who stocked on both fertilizer and diesel fuel then stored both in the same Conex behind the cabin. One drum leaked.

He's concerned that when he spreads the word he has explosives for sale it might attract undesired attention.....

I like that word "TOOK".

Think about that. But don't let your peers know you're thinking.

It's pretty obvious the duopoly have benefited from a corrupt voting system that they created. No one votes for the duopoly, Trump WAS a vote against them, and they lost their shit. And morons, like you, joined the duopoly to get rid of him, so take your BS and shove it.

Yes, "TOOK", as in stole.

Thank you.

Sorry Skippy

Left the duopoly in 1996, have not voted for it since.

Sure you have. A vote for jo jorgenson was a vote for the duopoly.

You are a very confused individual

Your opinion means little.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Your opinion means little.

That's fine, but at least learn the meaning of words so you do not use them wrong

 

[whitehall]

Energy cost. You have to almost take out a 2nd mortgage to fill a tank with heating oil, It takes about $100 to fill the gas tank on my truck. How could you be better off?

 

[westwall]

I understand their meaning quite well.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

If you did you would know that the Libertarian party is not part of the duopoly.
