I’m not an expert in U.S. politics, but I’ve been wondering: could this be a pivotal moment for the formation of a viable third major political party? It seems plausible that a lot of Trump opponents within the GOP, alongside discontented members of the Democratic Party, could be exploring or even forming strategic alliances.
If such a movement is in its early stages, this might represent an exceptionally rare and impactful opportunity to engage with and influence its development. What do you think? Are there signs of such a political realignment happening? Could this be a moment worth paying close attention to for those interested in shaping U.S. political systems toward more effective governance or broader representation?
Would love to hear thoughts, analyses, or data points from those more familiar with the landscape!
What is the “third major political party” supposed to represent and why would anyone vote for them?
There’s already two parties for disaffected Republicans, one of which already has a natural support base and came second in the election. Turns out most of them weren’t that disaffected though...
This is a good question—I do not know the answer. I have my ideas, but they are likely not relevant for US voters.
Which are two existing parties for disaffected Republicans in your opinion? I assume Democratic Party and Libertarian Party, but really would like to know your view on this.
The Democrats absorbed some of the disaffected Republicans and are the natural party of anyone who just really doesn’t want Trump, and the Libertarians are closer to what many disaffected Republicans believe, but have obviously failed to take advantage of it.
Trump’s turnout and approval ratings on the right are really high, which doesn’t exactly suggest there’s scope for another mass membership party there
