All of the reasons I’m seeing for a third party are emotional and have to do with sending a message or otherwise giving the middle finger to Mitch McConnell, ignoring the millions of based Republican leaders out there. I don’t care about messaging; I care about winning. I don't want to waste time being mad and making sure they know it, etc. I want to push the Flakes and McConnells and Romneys out of the way and continue the business of winning.
Trump would not automatically get all of his 2016/2020 votes in a third party run. The fact is that everyone on here is in a bubble. I’m the only person in my circle of family and friends, all conservative Trump voters, who frequents TD. Even after everything that's happened, most center-right voters are still low-info and wouldn’t make a drastic move like abandoning the GOP. Sadly, to win, we still need their votes.
Third party also wouldn’t stop the fraud from happening again! Our energy through 2022 should be laser-focused on combatting fraud, which means getting the RINOs out of DC, but it especially means winning primaries and local races-- mostly ignored on here. Trump built a winning party and we want to abandon ship? This new party stuff is out in left field, a guaranteed path to defeat, and a complete waste of our movement’s time and energy.
You know what would be a lot less work than attempting that? Primarying McConnell and co. How about we try that first? Or tell me how we could somehow get enough Republicans to leave the party altogether if we can’t just get enough Republicans to vote some RINOs out.
