Is it really that unrealistic to hope for a viable 3rd party in 2028?

Am I living in a dream world?

I want a grassroots candidate to rise from the ashes left behind by both parties. At this point I'm leaning towards voting for that mythical candidate.

NP. Yes you are not realistic if you think we will ever go to more than 2 parties. The establishment aka the money will never allow it. There's a reason why the entire system is based on 2 candidates - less the candidates and more those behind the power.

People are so naive to believe that we the free elect our reps. Politics is a money game and the most money wins.

I present you Trump. But suggesting illegally win but that the "money" aka who has the power will decide the victor. The set up is meant to not allow for freedom of choice to the masses.

Biden couldn't run v Hillary is another example. The Party has that ability to dictate the nominations. It's never really in the citizens' hands. This is an entire system - they will never wreck this by changing it!

There's hardly any daylight between Republicans and establishment Democrats, and some of you morons are still looking for something in this mythical righteous "center." Please tell me, where the center on the issue of genocide? How does one compromise on human rights? What exactly has all this compromise done for us?

Every right you currently enjoy was fought for you with the blood of progressives.

99 percent of Americans don't give a f%$k about Gaza. But since progressives have taken over the Democratic Party, this is everything for them. Not health care. Not the environment. Not income inequality. Not retirement or pensions. Not schools. Not public safety. It's Gaza Gaza Gaza all the time with progressives. Modern progressives are the worst thing that's ever happened to the Democratic Party.

There's a huge space for a third party that actually addresses the issues that American care about. But unfortunately, this is systematically a two party system. Only a charismatic billionaire has a chance at a viable third party candidacy. And that's not great either. In the meantime, the big tent party does better - and that is definitely not Democrats today.

All of those things are still important to progressives, but you'll have to excuse our concern for an ongoing freaking genocide.

Here's the thing...Gaza isn't the only place that "genocide" is happening or will happen. It's happening in other places too like Sudan. But that's not plastered all over the news. Progressives only seem to care about genocide in Gaza. Why aren't they protesting ALL occurrences around the world of genocide?

People are seemingly more concerned with Gaza because of US funding to Israel
