The Green Party is to the right of the Democrats.

It’s been 30 years since we’ve had a real third party. The only successful third party in our history is the Republicans, who overthrew the Whigs.

The few effective third parties, successful or not, were effective only because they were essentially cults of personality, whether it be Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt in 1912, or Ross Perot in 1992. No Parties doesn’t have such a person, unless it would be able to snag RFK Jr, who could run on his family name.

Before a viable third party can form, we need voting changed so that "None of the Above" is on every ballot in every election. Force the two existing parties to at least find a candidate who can beat "nobody".

Otherwise, our choice will always be one of the two slugs the UniParty puts forward.
