Problem is third parties already have a history. We aren't the first to think of that idea.
It's not a good history.
And we have been set up so bad by the commie dems now in power that we,the country, could be in serious trouble if we split the vote on the right and wind up electing dems over and over. They will simply destroy the country as they are doing now.
We have to take back the GOP, IMHO.Not easy and won't happen tomorrow.

That’s not how elections work. Parties always adjust to the center of power.

Always.

Elections are always close contests as a result. The winners aren’t who have the best ideology, but who have best gamed how far to adjust to win.

The DNC takes the black vote for granted, because they can, and that allows them to adjust their ideas further left, by 8-10% of the electorate. It takes the right of center that many votes just to break even.

That 8-10% should be more than offset by the GOP conservative base of 30% of the vote! But it isn’t. It isn’t because the GOP factors differently. The GOP listens to its donors over its base, and taking its conservative base for granted ALSO allows them to adjust leftward, ideology-wise, to appease their donors.

The result is a steady drift in this nation far more left than the electorate being represented.

Your position that we must vote GOP in order to correct this flaw in current electoral math isn’t holding the line against the current drift leftward. It’s not the solution.

It’s the cause.
