I don’t think that with the federal government system set up as it is now we will ever see anything other than two parties. The key is the administrative leg of the three legged federal government stool.
An idea I had to help offset millionaires running for office is that 2/5 of any campaign's budget goes into a fund that is split between all candidates. So if a millionaire spends a million bucks of his own money he has to give $400,000 to the other candidates. Or better yet, all money raised or personally invested goes into a general fund that is divided between candidates. In my local political campaigns I get tons of brochures that say nothing. No political affiliation, no policies, just boilerplate phrases like "I'm for lower taxes". Which taxes? I think a good idea is to spend money on a program of all people that will be on the ballot. We also have t vote to retain judges. I've never heard of them, and have no idea why I'm uninformed of these people. Why can't my country send me info?
Because they want their candidate to get exposure. There should be limits anyway, just to have some equal status for candidates.
The way things are many candidates promote themselves in vague ways. I suggest more of a job interview approach.
Good point, perhaps we should have politicans sign ethics agreements and if they break the rules they are dismissed. If we really want change, then we had better hold politicians accountable fast.
And if you have a dirty past, find some other job.
It works for many thousands as it is.
And of course we need citizens that value dignity and ethics.
What percentage of people don't like either candidate the two major parties have offered and would rather have someone else?
Whatever percentage it is, it won't magically create a third party President.
Or it's going to take a major event and/or issue big enough where a political party will collapse on its own and a new party takes its place.
The GOP seems to be doing that right now--"primarying" all the common sense non-MAGAs, leaving only the crazies. Where will all the non-MAGAs go?
Yes you don’t kill gay people but you are interfering in domestic politics in other countries and invading other countries causing thousands of death
We thought Hussein had WMD
Some people did sincerely believe that. Others knew it was not true but said it anyway to support a war they wanted.
Iraqi General Georges Sada in 22 had stated that the weapons of mass destruction were shipped to the interior of Syria under Saddam's orders.
Which will just shuffle two parties around like the liberal Republican party of Lincoln which became the conservative party during the civil rights era after WW2, or are you referring to the demise of the Whig party where Liberals won out over the Nativists?
Well the government has evidence they weren’t in possession of WMD. They only oppressed that evidence from the public. Just a reminder who advised them to invade Iraq, come across this clip last week
No they didn’t
Who didn't what?
I can recall a whistle blower. I think they even made movies about its called Fair game 2020.
