Coffee Party
That doesnt really make sense because the point of a political party is to have a group consensus
since Tea Party has already existed
Cofvev party lel
Tea Party lazy imo
I honestly think Trump makes mistakes on purpose so media highlights the policies he wants to be highlighted, get people talking about it aka manipulating the media into doing what he wants.
Greens exist too
lol
*shrugs.*
Mark, that thought had crossed my mind once or twice in the past
Greens are russian interference according to the left
IDW is too fractured to have a clear party line.
If he legitimately uses that tactic, he either uses it sparingly or extremely well
There is always a mistake in the twitter rants, they media always hones in on that in attempt to ridicule him.
I think a better possibility is a grassroots movement.
idk i think that first thing we need to make a new party is a platform and like minded founder membership
That pressures institutions.
You start running for office and it's just a punch out with two massive parties in a system that really only wants 1 or 2.
Idk if id want ALL of the IDW but some maybe
A grassroots movement could change the conversation. Which I think is more important in the long run.
Someone once asked me what would I run on if I was running as a cadidate... do you guys want to see what I wrote?
the biggest hurdle is the first past the post system
Actually, I wonder... there are always the jokes about people being "Ascended" on the political spectrum instead of being on the chart, but they always put that over the exact center of the chart
I actually think the biggest hurdle is connections and fundraising.
Why not become the Ascended Party?
oh def
These things take years to build.
but that may be more possible than we think
And no one is going to contribute to a loser.
Let me find what I wrote... hang on.
we are used to big donors
A grassroots movement is a better 1st step.
but increasingly small donors are becoming popular
Pick particular targets for pressure like universities.
No political party has ever been founded in the information age we live in
that too
If planned well, the party could take over on Social Media and spread quickly
This is what I wrote if I was running as a candidate for senator for my state.
I am going to post it now, don't get mad.

Only way to crush bad ideas is to give them a platform, they will crush themselves with their terrible ideas. My platform would only change if there is new issues to handle or if my ideas prove to be unfruitful, I will look for another way to fix issue. I am willing to be flexible when it comes to solutions to fixing our state. That is how I would be if I was running...
Or create a network that brings up particular issues or companies to encourage certain behaviors.
