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?
When the time comes, and there are actual PP candidates we should be voting for every one of them. No more of this "it'll split the vote" nonsense that happened to the Libertarians.
The uniparty will march along regardless of how many D's vs R's there are. Nothing ever changes until we have enough seats to exert the will of the people back into the government.
We need ANYTHING we can get. ANYTHING to put pressure in place to root out voter fraud. ANYTHING we can do to push establishment people out of office.
I agree with the sentiment, but I think we have to play the long game, which means picking a middle ground between slowing the D agenda, and bolstering support for the PP. Playing smart will also show hardline R's that we're not emotionally lashing out in anger, but actually moving with intent towards a specific destination.
That will just result in more losing. Time to try something new, this long game crap put us where we are today, no more, time for a new strategy. Lash out in anger, get something done. Fuck the GOP, let them rot. The faster we make them lose the faster we can start winning. We have to take a small hit in order to do this.
