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?

More parties. Split both the House and Senate up. Make the major parties capitulate to the smaller parties to get votes. You could hold policy hostage with a handful of senators and 50 House representatives. All they have to do is refuse to vote until their demands are met. Withhold their vote for speaker, withhold their got on legislation. The RNC can withhold campaign funding if we go that route. We need our own funding, our own platform, our own people. Look what happened to AOC, she was all super progressives squad lady and now she's voting pelosi for speaker without getting anything in return.
