One more in tune with what real American's, those in the middle caught between the extream 'Left' and 'Right', the so called Heartland of America, believe. Women and Children first, no such thing as a free lunch, and as long as you bring no harm to others your free to do pretty much what you like?

Just a third? How about a fourth too.
The Democrats and the Republicans are just two sides of the same coin. Neither party has the good of the country at heart.
It is time for a major rebirth of populism.

Theoretically, while human beings initiate refusing to being caught with basically 2 alternatives each and every election cycle and get out the vote for the 0.33 events and independents. even with each and every of the capacity the media has the figuring out element has continually been the voters... Realistically regardless of if, maximum human beings are sheep and have faith each and every thing the media tells them. 0.33 events won't be able to benefit a foothold without get right of entry to to the media and money. doing away with the Electoral college could be a huge initiate because of the fact then each and every vote might relatively count and 0.33 events could be greater aggressive in elections.

Actually, the system is we have has been so broken for so long that we are LONG OVERDUE for a viable 3rd party. Unfortunately, the oligarchy of corrupt politicians, corporate conglomerates, and wealthy elites posing as a "democracy" in this country will never allow it. The won't ever permit anything that would threaten their grasp on the wealth and control of the country.

No, I dont. It sounds wonderful and all of that, but to do so would put the economy and the status of the nation in jeopardy.
There are larger affairs going on in the world than the ones here at home. Yes, of course we need to pay attention to our affairs here at home, too. No doubt. But there are bigger stakes when you look at the larger, global picture.
Your proposal sounds like a nation in denial, and the road is paved with marshmellows.
Its just not realistic and would undermine the status of the US on many levels.
Sounds closer to liberal beliefs than a belief system of its own.

America is in desperate need of a Center or Moderate Party. It would be the party of sane people.

Exactly!
But as long as the media treat third party candidate as kooks who couldn't get nominated by the GOP or the DEM, it's tough sledding

Go for it. Vote for a third party. Vote for anybody not labeled "Donkeycrat" or "Repulsican." As long as it is somebody else, anybody else, they should get your vote.
