Farage is operating in a parliamentary system, that is a big difference from a presidential system. Third parties are non starters. The way to do it is to take over a party. The conservatives have been successful at taking over parties throughout our history. In fact, neither major political party was founded on conservatism. They move like parasites. If you want to destroy the greatest liberal democracy in the history of the planet, simply do what the conservatives have done, be a parasitic ideology and destroy a political party from the inside out. Trump is actually killing conservatism as we speak, what will arise out of the Republican Party, I have no idea but the conservative principles of small government and fiscal responsibility are gone. So good luck with your movement but know that America is a liberal country and has been from its founding. If youre against that you may want to rethink where you’re going.
So, you are saying that Bernie has destroyed the dem party? Nothing spells "takeover" quite like having the second leading candidate not even being a democrat, except on a ballot.
Absolutely not. A good fight makes you stronger and Sanders and the Democratic socialist aren’t really making any head way. They got one congressman in out of a couple dozen candidates they put up. Their Medicare for all plan is fizzling out and the green dream isn’t even being debated. Sanders is very much like trump in that fact that he has shit ideas and is selling a con. Democrat voters, however, are not like republican voters and are less likely to fall for a con. You trump supporters don’t have the street smarts to know when you’re being con’d. I keep telling you guys Trump is playing three card montey and you think he’s going to turn over the queen but you don’t have enough smarts to understand the Queen was never in the shuffle to begin with. You’ve been lied to to get tax cuts for the wealthy through and judges that will strip worker and health and environmental protections. You’re a bunch of fools.
"a good fight makes you stronger" Let's revise that a little, shall we? A good fight with Bernie has made the party commie-er.
Don’t be mad at democrats because you got lied to. Your dumb ass thought a wall was possible and continued to believe that it was possible through a protracted shut down. Fox News got you thinking the shut down wasn’t long enough. Buddy, you are being manipulated by some very powerful media outlets. They are destroying your brain. Currently, you believe there was an fbi coup attempt. You’re destroying your brain, buddy. Turn off Fox.
People already blame Jill Stien or Bernie for Trump getting elected. 3rd parties don't work for numerous reasons but one interesting one is that most people are sheeple and will blindly follow thier party's line no matter how stupid or bad the candidate's proposed are (plenty of evidence on both sides here). Significant numbers of Dems and GOPs will vote their party no matter how vile they think their candidate is. That prevents any 3rd party from gaining traction because of the fear of the other side winning with thier more vile candidate.
Decades past time, but will never happen. Put this idea in the same category as meaningful campaign finance reform and term limits. Much needed and not a chance in hell of ever being put in place. We have groups of bank robbers with access to bank security, the ability to disable all systems, has the combo to the safe, and at the end of the day has complete immunity if things go south, but we're expecting that group to give all that up and do the right thing. LOL.
There just has to be a cause big enough to support a third party candidate that neither of the other two are willing to support.
