More Americans Support the Idea of a Third Party Than Any Time in the Last 20 Years – By Chris Queens (PJ Media) / Oct 4, 2023
You don’t have to be too cynical these days to think that American politics is a total joke. Both major parties are propping up geriatric candidates who won’t even engage primary competitors in debates. Democrats continue to push for far-left policies that seek to alienate as many people as possible, while Republicans focus on airing all their internal squabbles like a bunch of rednecks on a reality show.
It’s little wonder that an increasing number of people are just saying “screw it all” and yearning for an alternative. The idea of a third party has gone from, “Gosh, it would be nice if…” to, “Can we please?”
A new survey from Gallup shows just how pervasive the desire for a third party has become. A whopping 63% of those surveyed tell Gallup that they “agree with the statement that the Republican and Democratic parties do ‘such a poor job’ of representing the American people that ‘a third major party is needed.’”
