I hear you. We really need a new political party.

Suppose leading conservatives decided to start a new political party. It would take time to get such a party established. The actual effect at first, would be to help Democrats win elections, due to splitting the existing GOP vote.

How long would it take, and how much money, would be needed to start a new major political party nowadays? That’s what I wonder.

We’ve had only two major parties for most of our history, but our two major parties have not always been today’s Democrat and Republican parties. But it seems very difficult for another major party to gain traction.

The Libertarian, Green, Constitution Parties, among others, have been around for decades, but just haven’t gained enough support to be a major factor in elections.

No, we need to stop participating in (consenting to) the tyranny we currently have. Another party would just add to it.
