i remember posting a complaint about internet activism or "clicktivism" on Facebook awhile back and someone tried to argue that it actually made a difference pffffft

Why the heck would I support a party that attempts to blame Republicans for their past? It doesn't make sense. The tearing down statues and the destruction of the "Racist" history is working in favor of the democrats.

Why would people research the past if there isn't any reminders of the past?

The right amount of resources were the level used at the rally time was at in portland I think it was?

it might have been seattle

Statues play a good role in making people remember the past and thus remembering never to go down that path again.

Yeaaaaa Dems in some ways are the same as they ever were

Use the police to keep people from fighting and use the law to crack down when they get violent

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

but i think we are at a perfect opportunity to change even that

Lagomaster, how exactly do you reckon that?

"Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it, for it is a required course" - oxford university student

well first of all, all the walk awayers could quit running and take back the party, and second make legitimate and permeant changes to the parties platform

I created an saying throughout my debates, tell me what you think. "The reminders of past are there to remind of us our past. People that attempts to erase those reminders has no good intentions, for they are willing to run the risk of repeating it in the future. Only selfish people erase the past in the present without consideration for the future."

yea Tim kinda brought that up in the Silent Sam vid

Lagomaster, I think it would be better if the #walkaway people went and founded a new political party. We need more than just a bipartisan system

I think the entire center should move to a new party

That is why when Tim brought that up... I was squealing with delight.

Well I am a third party advocate

Make it so fast that the Republicans and Democrats can't absorb them

I didn't know how I felt, but I felt vindicated in some sense with my saying that I been saying for years.

I want to try to get the US Intellectual Dark Web to establish one

Id personally call it the Moderate Party

I honestly can't think of a perfect label for the center, they are made of a wide diverse group of people.

I don't think that any party should name themselves after their political leanings, because their overall political leanings would change over time

Were called centrists

Still doesn't describe us accurately.

Centrists have a bad rep

Moderate fits better imo

Moderates lack some kind of special feeling.

Centrists have a bad rep because both sides try to shame them as being idiots who want half of a bad thing

People think of Moderates as average.

because it implies adoption of both left and right policies in a balanced manner

In reality it means they pick and choose their issues and dont have a single political ideology that they support

Oh I know

but average is the voter

It should be called the Socialist Party

-_-

noooooo

get all the people who believe in Socialism to join it :P

Good luck with that
