We still have retards on our side who think the R party can be taken over from within with Patriots, or that they are on our side.

I don't know if these people are shills paid for by the R party, or just too thick, too illusion dependendent to understand the end game on us is being played right now. I bet the Tea Party said we should stand by the R party as their last drop of blood ran out of their political body as well.

Actually, our country had multiple parties at several times in its history. Its important to know that when you create a third party, its the support behind it that is important. So, if we were to create the Eagle party, for The Donald supporters, we would have to gain supporters for it. We have to be consistent with that support. Reforming a party doesn't work, because you get actors.

The first-past-the-post voting system we have necessarily tends toward two-parties (this is known as Duverger's law). The only way to make 3+ parties viable is to change the underlying voting system. I personally support doing this, and it has made some progress in various areas of the country. Consider one such option, ranked-choice voting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked-choice_voting_in_the_United_States
