Blexit Campaign - Black Exit from the US Democratic Party

[Pat Mustard]

I think there are a LOT of people dissatisfied with the democratic party.  I'm one of them.  But what's the alternative?  When have the green party or libertarians had enough political power to have a significant influence on politics?  Have we ever had a president from a third party?  Has the congressional majority ever been in the hands of a political party other than those two?  

IMO, I'd like to see some fundamental changes to our political system to encourage third party participation.  Unfortunately, I don't see it happening.  The people in power achieved power with the system the way it is; why would they want to rock the boat if rocking the boat could cause them to lose power?

I think that if the republitraitors eventually disappear (which is likely in the long run, their base is dying), the Democrats will fracture into at least two parties eventually. They're too big of a tent to hold together as a party with factions from the pro-business hard right to the solidly leftwing social democrats united only by two things, a disapproval/hatred to those with an R beside their name (and rightly so) and a broad consensus that social rights should be more extensive and available to all (though that consensus doesn't extend to how those ideas should be implemented, with the right wing factions being more hesitant in bringing forward social policy).

The Democrats if they end up as the main party will be split by the massive economic policy fractures that are currently being papered over by having such a horrible opposition.
