I don't disagree with that, all I'm saying is almost 50% of America really is ready to risk tearing it all down and the truth is only a small number of them would be willing to vote Democrat under any circumstances. For both Democrats and center Republicans, divide and conquer seems the only available strategy. A true third party is the hope of many, but I don't think they could be left of Biden, and the space on the right is a madhouse. They'd have to basically fall from space in a shower of glory to cut through the mud at this point

I don't often say this, (cuz what's the point?) but i'm one of those who has given up on voting Dem. I voted for joe, knowing i hated him in '20. My vote was my parting gift to the party after being a donating member for ~20 years.

I don't advocate for others to give up, but after many years of their tomfoolery and lies, the only path forward is to find that third party and start voting for it. Is it a great plan?

No. It's not even an ok plan. but its the one I'm rolling with, cuz why would i vote for a party who would rather entreat and berate than earn? I cannot tell you how much rage i feel inside at their sounding the alarm when i watched them start the fire

I don't blame you. I agree neither party really wants the things I think we desperately need.
