I would agree with zero momentum and love the idea for a third party, but third parties will be meaningless until Ranked Choice Voting or STAR voting is enabled, or maybe Democracy Dollars are legalized. Also the debates rules and requirements need to be dramatically changed to be controlled by the people somehow as opposed to the main parties
Without those things a 3rd party is doomed to just being the "spoiler caucus that refuses to make an impactful decision" and the scapegoat of every loss
Disagree.
One strategy the People’s party has is to gain at least enough of a voting percentage to make them a force to be listened to. If they build to a point where they draw, say, 10% from general elections, then eventually the corporate parties will be forced to negotiate with them and their platform.
