I really wish the US had other parties that were not held at a disadvantage. Europe has dozens of parties in their countries that are all playing on an even field, but in the US, we have only two and the rest are all handicapped by laws (that the Rs and Ds passed) that restrict the amount of attention and funding they receive, and sometimes even block them from ballots completely just because they didn't raise the right amount of money.
You have nationalist parties rising up all over Europe, such as "Alternative for Germany", Jobbik and "Golden Dawn" in an effort to protect their cultures from the majority parties that seek to dilute and replace the European cultures, but in the US, any party that isn't Republican or Democrat is called "fringe" and marginalized and kept off the playing field altogether.
What we need is a good, strong, liberty based American Nationalist party that will preserve our culture of European heritage and Western Civilization. The Republicans and Democrats are both against that.
I don't know if we have any chance for that though. The rules are rigged against us and we insist on playing within that set of rules, even as those rules are wielded against us like a weapon. Heck, most "conservatives" actually recoil at the word "nationalist". We were all raised in a school system that taught us that nationalism is a bad thing, a thing that only "Nazis" support.
We must overcome this inclination to live inside the box that our enemies have put us in, to play within a set of rules that are specifically designed to bring about our defeat.
To paraphrase a friend: "You can't win with Napoleonic tactics in the Arghandab Valley, friend."
So call it, say the Constitution Party.
ReplyDeleteFor any new party to be successful, I believe it will have to come from the bottom and work its way up the ladder. Any third party placed on the national ballot in the beginning would simply hand the elections to the democrats.
