In my state, you can't vote in the Republican primary unless you are a Republican.

So anyone joining the Patriot Party will not be able to send the RINOs packing in the primaries.

Third party is NOT the way.

I've posted this before: there is no way the state legislatures will allow a Patriot Party candidate on the ballot. Doesn't matter how many signatures for registration the Patriot Party would get. The Uniparty would say there were 'irregularities' and that the requirements for being on the ballot were not met. At that point, the Patriot Party would have to take it court, and we saw how 'fair' the courts were in 2020.

Don't go third party. Stay in the Republican party and purge the RINOs in the 2022 primaries.

Agree !
Too many obstacles for third party compared to hostile takeover. Also human nature being what it is, if there’s a third party, three will soon be a 4th, then a 5th, etc.
Going multi-party is a path to extinction.

Disqualifying candidates is exactly what they do in Banana Republics and Putinist Russia. It would surprise me to see that happen here given the bipartisan nature of the 4 year long coup and stolen election.

The other option to a third party is to keep two parties and simply not vote for Republicans in the general if your preferred candidate does not win the primary. That’s what the GOPe does. Over and over. What’s good for the goose applies here in spades.

Here is the problem with purging the RINOs.

The new guy comes into office, and it isn’t long before he succumbs to towing the line to get committee appointments and GOP money to run the next time. In other words he becomes no different than the guy he replaced.

Do I need to make a list? Sasse, Lee, Rubio, Cotton, McCarthy and on and on

A third party guy gets no such inducements or party bribes. He remains a conservative or a Trumper because he sticks to his principles and does not yield to the political temptations.

A third party can create more gridlock which I am all for at this point. It may be the only victory we can get for a good while.

The real problem comes down not to political parties but to the principles of men. Very few politicians on our side are constitutional idealists. The citizen legislator is extinct.

John Adams said we have created a moral republic that requires moral men to endure. Where are the moral men to be found in either party?
