lani , bbbearsmom, I saw that yesterday and also wondered if it would get a lot of traction. I tend to think it would siphon off the so-called RINOs that are getting bullied out of their party for not being sufficiently MAGA. @@ I can see them attracting those sick of both sides. If history repeats, the biggest problem with raising a third party is the total lack of an infrastructure. They invariably hurt one party while not actually winning themselves. It will be interesting to follow though.

Heck, at this point I'd vote for anyone other than the "usual" political people. I' so disgusted with them. But then, I did vote for Kinky Friedman when he ran for Texas governor lol. Still have the talking doll and bumper stickers!

As someone who is squarely in The Squad leanings, I am not sure how this third party centrist stuff will play out other than what it already has. We have Biden and Harris and Pelosi and several others like that. Centrist as you get. So not sure what Yang will accomplish with this.

Supposedly he's in with the same group as the woman that ran for president and was a Russian plant.

Was at a party yesterday. We're sitting at a table, three other women, me, and two guys. Something was said about something, and one guy goes: maybe that will change in November. The other guy goes: if the election isn't stolen again, first guy: there's no evidence, second guy: starts to repeat disproven stories...women convince them a party isn't the place for politics. It is still a shock to me to meet someone in the wild that believes the election was stolen. The guy went: he did such great things for the country I don't understand why people don't like him.

"The election was stolen" is easier for losers to say instead of "we lost." If they say it out loud that would make them losers.
It's immature and makes them look like weaklings and cry babies besides sore losers.
They don't like him because he's a Democrat. It's that simple. They support a lying, cheating, sexist, talk show host instead. Birds of a feather?

It's a comfort to say you believe the election was stolen. It seems only to happen when reps don't win. We lost is too painful for them. All they do is whimper and complain each and every time they lose. If you don't like being a loser why not find out why and change your ways?
I can't recall ever hearing Democrats moan and groan about it being stolen when Reps win.

Birdgal I actually saw a post yesterday on FB for a Women's Democratic Party group I'm part of that was saying awful things about Bernie and went all conspiracy theory that he was also in cahoots with Russia in 2016 to ensure Hillary would lose. It was really strange and I had definitely seen a lot of that stuff back in 2016/2017 but it was weird to see that still popping up in 2022.

Repeat a lie long enough and eventually people will believe it. People who do not think for themselves or who just believe anything they are told.
We are the most deceitful species on Earth. We can look someone in the eye and lie, we can put our hand on the Bible and lie. It's who we are. People of the lie. We call ourselves the intelligent species. The species that created the nuclear bomb. Yep, that's intelligence.
Intelligent? We put trump in the WH and could do it again. Why not put a deceitful talk show host in the WH? That sends a clear message about our intelligence to the rest of the world.

Fin, I believe evil hangs out in places where you'd never suspect it to be. That's why it's evil.
Pedophile priests hang out in churches. Child molesters, rapists, and theives could be driving around in police cars.
Liars and theives could be hanging out in a political party you'd never suspect them to be in.
Don't forget the lunatic who murdered all those people a few years back at a prayer meeting.
I'm with Mulder. Trust No One!
Evil doesn't wear a tee shirt with Evil on it. It wears a shirt with peace and love instead.
