It is not time to have a third party, if you want to influence policy, use the furor you have at the Republicans, to take over the party. If you cannot even influence an existing party, you don’t have enough of a following to win an election in a three party race.
Although I am a strong advocate for a third party, the presidential race is not the place for it, at this time. The time is now, however, for specific targeted third party candidates for house races. Anywhere there are
1) Conservative??? democrats that were elected.
2) Liberal gop candidates.
If a third party were to focus on these area’s of the country, they could quite possible gain 10% of the house. If you have managed to peel off 5% from each party, with the house usually close to 50-50, nothing can pass or be defeated without the support of the 10%. You effectively have control of the house, and ALL legislation. If a third party can get 3 seats in the senate, the same thing applies......
