I would like to reiterate my intent in posting this thread. It’s simply to seek feedback from my fellow FReepers on the content, the substance, of our platform - not to get into p*ssing contests over political personalities.
It is my contention that until the American people return to the plumb line of principle, and stop compromising it in their political actions, we cannot restore this free republic, or fulfill the stated purposes of the Constitution.
Respectfully (and that’s not just lip service, EV) I think going third party is (with rare exception) cowardly, delusional, and counter productive to what I believe is your true desire.
It is essentially surrendering your party to the left in the delusion that you will somehow be better positioned to be victorious nationally, when you clearly aren’t willing to do what it takes to win an internal struggle.
It’s like finding a loop hole that allows you to run in a race despite losing the semifinals, and patting yourself on the back that you’re a finalist when you haven’t really earned it.
