What third party? which begs the question, what second party? DC is under one-party rule.
He mentioned going third party if he was Tweated Unfaiwee By the wepubwicans...
I have no idea what third party he may have had in mind at the time.
I dont know that he had one in mind frankly.
And the questions: “what is so special, patriotic or sacrosanct about TWO parties”?
A two party system is not written into the constitution. Some of us think it’s as much a part of the problem as anything. With two parties either you have polarization that precludes getting anything done or you have one entity with two personae cooped by the same group of power brokers.
If we had four or five or more parties people could vote for someone who actually represented their views, rather than the twiddledum or tweedledee of the Uniparty,
