So I've been doing some thinking, and of course this is all contingent on the idea that voting even matters, which I'm not going into, let's just pretend that we have free and fair elections for the sake of discussion.

So, first off, I'm all on board with a new party. The Republican party message is "we're not democrats". That's that's not good enough, and quite frankly, I'm not sure it's even true. That said, splitting the vote will almost certainly cause democrats to win again. I think the senate is beyond saving, or rather the Republican senators are beyond saving, minus just a few, who'll likely jump ship as the PP becomes a viable option. That said, having the house controlled by "opposition" to democrats will put a small stumbling block in the path of the democratic agenda to destroy America. So unless I can be convinced that I'm wrong in my thoughts, i believe the best strategy is to vote R on house seats only on the upcoming midterm and maybe even four years down the road, and vote PP on any other available position, while campaigning exclusively for the PP, and as soon as the PP becomes a truely viable option, that's when we go all in with our votes.

What do you guys think?

It would be far better to forget a new party and reform the GOP.

See, I think Trump was the attempt to reform the republican party. The way the Republican leadership acted when it was the only chance to save him should show that reform is a pipe dream. The Republican party sees us as tools, not constituents, and that's not something that I'm keen on rewarding.
