The Republican and Democrat Parties cease to exist

Postby New Nationalist Yugoslavia » Tue Jul 12, 2016 10:40 pm

The other post was locked by the opressive tyrants we call OPs OP so I'll re-do it.

Somehow, The Republican and Democrat Parties cease to exist in the US. What existing party in the US will you join and why?

I personally would join the Constitution Party. I agree with a majority of there "Seven Principals" list on there website, and I think they would change the country for the better.

I am already supporting the Libertarian Party, so....

Wait, let me think about this...

Hmm...

:unsure:

I dunno....

Tough choice...

:?

I think...

No, I just dunno, man...

My brain just can't handle this!

It's just too weird to thinking about joining a party other than the Republicans or the Democrats!

:shock:

*brain explodes*

I would join the Libertarian Party, but would vote Green sometimes, depending on the individual candidates.

Whichever party favors liberal ideals, espousing ideals for protecting and supporting the worker, minorities, education, civil rights, government assistance, universal healthcare, livable wages, and the environment, while keeping crooked moneyed interests at bay.

I'd vote Libertarian Party, because I'm a libertarian.

1.) the Republican and Democratic parties are alive and well
2.) they have changed their meanings over and over nothing new
3.) no third party will ever overtake the Republicans or Democrates unless shit really really goes down
4.) you need sauce to back up your claim here on general that the parties cease to exist because I can turn on the television and see both parties still operating
5.) write a longer more comprehensive OP so it won't get locked or laughed at.

This is a 'what if' scenario, it's a alternate reality per se.

Well if it is a what if scenario then put that in the title or move it to another forum most of the stories here on Generel aren't about what if the Republican and Democrats cease to exist or what if the moon was cheese

I'd probably try to make my own party. None of the Third Parties appeal to me in particular, nor do the two biggest ones have enough of a threat in either of them to convince me of a lesser evil vote. They'd both wreck things and/or help things in their own way for me.

I've already decided to vote libertarian this election because literal joke candidates, so I guess I'd continue to support them.

I wouldn't join them, though. I don't believe in party allegiance.

Some primaries are proportional, but pretty much nothing else is. House seats are voted on by district, not assigned proportionally.

Apparently someone didn't get the message that this is a "what if?" thread.

Anyway, at least one state gets along perfectly well forcing everyone to run as Independents. Why don't we do that nationally?
