And BTW -- "stupid" in America is really a function of party politics.. And THAT is getting fixed.. It's ALMOST at the tipping point where there are MORE "independents" than loyal members of BOTH sad and retarded parties..
So, it's a perfect time to "come out" and join a MAJORITY...
Last time I looked. Independents (including Libertarians and Greens) were at 44% and climbing...
It will keep climbing but the third parties need to draw a true independent candidate and not those like Stein or Johnson if they wish to climb up and dethrone one or both major parties!
Rand Paul need to stop caucusing with the GOP and go full Libertarian and Sanders along with Warren and even Cortez should be on the Green ticket...
Sooner or later a third party will rise and hopefully it will bring some sanity to D.C. and across this nation.
As it stand right now the bill for the trade agreement look like it could be what Trump will use against the Democrats in 2020 and they do not even realize they are being played...
Those Libertarian and Green Parties will just oppose each other as strongly as Republicans and Democrats, so what would that accomplish? We would just have 4 parties instead of two.
Guess you haven't really thought it through then.. Almost every position that the Libertarians have supported over the years, we've been ridiculed over it.. But we WERE CORRECT on the vast MAJORITY of those policy positions and in the last decade MOST have implemented... We were just 25 years ahead of "public opinion"...
That's the difference right there Admiral... THAT party STANDS FOR SOMETHING.. Has principles.. WILL find ways to restore choices and liberties... WILL end govt corporate collusion.. WILL be fiscally responsible...
The 2 brand name parties have put the govt on hold with a lousy auto pilot.. While they battle each other to death for power... It's PRINCIPLES vs power.. Winning is not "party domination".. Winning is being CORRECT and USEFUL on issues and solutions....
Of course the Greens are wrong on most everything.... But THEY also have principles and I love their spunk for that.. Parties are really the problem tho.. The solution is to cut out the gigantic mafia between the people and their Congress and Exec branch... And find PRINCIPLED people who are BETTER choices and will run seriously for office.. Having just 10% Independents in Congress would drain the swamp faster than Trump ever will.....
I said it a long time ago if Libertarians and Greens could take five seats each in the Senate and fifty each in the House you would see the Democrats and GOP scream bloody murder.
That should be the focus to fix this nation and not the two party system that act as a one party system for the select few...
If you're still not an official Indie or Libertarian -- just look at the title of this thread. "Will Nancy Pelosi ALLOW....."....
There's your problem.. Only 4 people in Congress matter at all once the Grand Duopoly parties infested that house and made it over in their image... The other 531 seats there are virtually irrelevant and SILENT as to any solutions that don't pass leadership dick shaking..
The Founders would not RECOGNIZE Congress today.. The actually warned about 2 parties locked in opposition as one of their worst fears.. And Speaker of the House was a TOKEN POSITION, not a party winner's prize...
