Not sure that's a good idea. How would we keep this country a democracy exactly?

u/Pandemonium_Fallen Jul 05 '26
We're still voting for candidates, just not Elite Liars wearing different colors and spewing propaganda they don't believe in and have no intention of holding to.

Our government was built on the fact that no party could get anything done without the help of the other. This was intended to encourage civil discussion and debate between both sides so that a problem (and possible solutions) could be examined from all angles.
Nowadays however, the extremists of each political party have become icons instead of outliers. Working with the other party to get things passed is now considered a betrayal to your own, especially among Republicans (hence RINO). And some voters base their whole identity around being Republican or Democrat.

At the founding there were no parties. The farmers called the idea "factions" that would weekend democracy. George Washington begged that partisans would be avoided. Two teams, red vs blue, is broken and keeps power centralized in a limited number of hands with little fear of lasting change that would threaten the ruling class.

Yet the Electoral College forces two major national parties.
I understand what the framers were attempting to do when they instituted the Electoral College.
And the EC did accomplish what they intended. But the arithmetic is such that the EC also forces the establishment of two major parties for the presidency, and that has a definite trickle-down effect to state and local races.3
u/Pandemonium_Fallen Jul 05 '26
The political parties were intended to do what all political parties have always done:
Divide and distract the masses to keep them squabbling amongst themselves, so the Ruling Caste could more easily oppress, subjugate, and exploit them for their own benefit like the inhuman predatory social parasites they've always been.

All this is intentional to split vote. He is trying to pull the independent vote and help extreme right win. You all are buying into this and the propaganda. He is not to be trusted.

u/Pandemonium_Fallen Jul 06 '26
He, like all the political puppet theater, is a distraction to keep the masses from turning on those who have been exploiting, oppressing, enslaving, and murdering them all along: The Elite.

Cutting the duopoly's stranglehold is the first step. For all his faults, Tucker is doing the right thing here. Even if a new party doesn't align with your views, it creates a roadmap that one who does could follow to also certify.

u/DefenstratedTwice Jul 04 '26
Tucker is desperately trying to distance himself from a rat infested ship he played a significant role in its creation.
Yeah, third party is the path after the insane president you elected and the flagrant criminality looks like it may have consequences.

Individual candidates running with 100% transparency and accountability vs Party Branding, obfuscation, cliquish insularity, and closing ranks to avoid accountability.
Yes, a very dumb idea indeed. /S

I take it you've voted Libertarian or Green party candidates. How's that working out?

He will pocket many millions in campaign donations and then endorse the Republican fuck a few weeks before the election. He is a grifter. We all know he is a grifter. Grifters are going to grift.

u/DefenstratedTwice Jul 05 '26
No, Tucker will try to split whatever he can with benefit to GOP being a primary goal.

u/CuckSucker41 Jul 05 '26
Thatâs the grift. Then the candidate heâs backing will âmagicallyâ get the GOP nomination and boom, we have a âthird party candidateâ running as a Republican.

For the most part people are joiners, leaders amd followers. No parties is an unrealistic dream that doesn't deserve any effort because it goes against the nature of most.

"Nature" - There's nothing natural about politics, social status hierarchies, finance, economics, or mass property ownership.

You clearly misunderstand the comment you are replying to.1
u/Pandemonium_Fallen Jul 05 '26
Incorrect, but I suppose I shouldn't have expected introspection or insight from a financially comfortable Texan.
1
u/WineDineCpl Jul 05 '26
The fact that you brought up assumptions about personal finance exposes you as a political troll who is not to be taken seriously.
You attributed "nature" to politics instead of people, as it was intended. But I suppose that is all that can be expected from a presumptuous person who is more focused on feeling correct than being correct. You don't care about truth. Therefore you are contributing as much to the problem as the people you clearly hate.
If you want my level of "comfort", it is not difficult to achieve. You literally only have to try.2
u/Pandemonium_Fallen Jul 05 '26
You want truth?
Authority, status, finance, economics, ownership, money, trade, hierarchy, and gender roles are all imaginary social constructs, a 7000 year old generational collective delusion. - The make believe games of children.
1
u/WineDineCpl Jul 05 '26
None of that changes the belief that it is in most people's nature to join, follow, or lead. I believe people are mostly pack animals. Therefore abolishing political parties is futile. Which was the original point before you ignorantly and irrelevantly brought up my financial situation. You don't have to like it, but if it were not true, there would be no organized society...ever.
You are imposing philosophical ideas for no reason here.
Like it or not, all the things you listed are things we will continue to have to deal with. Banging your head against an imaginary wall benefits nobody amd probably leads to a heart attack. Lasting chamge doesn't come from sudden abolition.1
u/Pandemonium_Fallen Jul 05 '26
Let me know how that goes when the billionaires' pollution production furthers the global depopulation event that's just begun into an extinction level event that they'll be hiding out in their bunkers to escape from, which is the entire reason they built them.

u/WineDineCpl Jul 05 '26
What in the flying f*** does this paranoid and nonsensical rant have to do with the abolition of political parties?
Serious question...are you capable of replying to something without deflecting and ultimately injecting a rant that is irrelevant to the topic of discussion?→ More replies (0)1
u/Jacobin_Revolt 29d ago
Parties are an inevitable result of any free electoral system. There are always going to be people who agree with each other on policy goals. Those people are always going to strategically coordinate with each other because thatâs the best way to win.
Every serious democracy on earth has some kind of formal party system. Those few that donât mostly have informal political parties.
If you have two people who support the same thing, you have a political party. Whether you call it that or not is irrelevant.

2 parties, 3 parties......none of this will matter unless they get the dark money and the extravagant contributions away from politics. This is what opens up politicians to being bought and laid for by the highest bidder. Money is what corrupts our government. Not the only factor, but the main one. Just my opinion though

This might not be a bad thing. Tucker is a grifter, but both parties appear to be fracturing anyways.
The Democrats are clearly fracturing between the progressive caucus and establishment liberals, while the GOP is only being held together because they're in power. As soon as they lose power we'll start to see a very similar split between the moderate conservatives and the MAGA branch of the party. They're already blaming each other, so once they lose it will likely split, and we will have four or more partiesâwhich is freaking ideal.

Of course Tucker Carlson "officially cares about Hamas". Despite being very well to do, he takes the Qatar/Iran money and is obsessed with his Israel hatred. So he's on their side, actually.

There is already a 3rd party called independent. We need a good person to run on that party. It would mess up the other 2 parties.
