When are conservatives going to make their own party?

r/

I am sick of Democrats and Republicans imaginatively complaining while accomplishing nothing, politically or fiscally. We need to separate ourselves from this administration in order to get back to our conservative fundamentals, like keeping government small and out of our lives. I cannot accept the amount of influence our federal government has on our daily lives anymore. Let’s get back to regional government! No taxation without representation! Politicians are nothing more than civil servants and should’ve nothing more than a servant. Let us rise together as conservatives and rid ourselves of these parties. As our founding fathers stated, this 2 party political system no longer serves the people, but rather the party. No taxation without representation!

    There is no flair that accurately describes my stance. I vote for a single politician on a single ballot based upon their platform. Can I have a “voted” flair? Also, the whole flair thing is very reminiscent of office space. And the horrible company is you. And you’re the slow bosses who absolutely have no idea about the business you “manage.” Bottom line would look 10x better without you sucking up resources will sucking on.

    Neither party wants a smaller government. Both of them just want larger government that gives the illusion of a difference while keeping the grift going to their chosen.

    There’s been a better option since the 70s, but the corporate media chooses to portray it as a laughing stock and the duo poly continues to create higher barriers ever since Ross Perot took too much of the votes they thought they deserved.

    There is no reason to have a separate party. We just need to continue to elect represntatives that will keep to traditional conservative values like smaller government, lower taxes, fewer regulation and a Peace Through Strength foreign policy.

    It is naive to think that we can change the entire political system that has mostly served us well for 250 years

    Electoral politics is all about forming coalitions that can be in the majority.

    It’s counterproductive to break away.

    Because if you split off from republican party, it means conservatives will never hold office. Democrats will always vote for the democrat, with the exception of a small minority. If conservatives split off from republicans, then this splits the vote. It would turn into a 50%Democrat/ 25% conservative/ 25%Republican.

    I always thought it should be illegal to even have a party. Run on your merits

    Obviously never. The two party system will keep people in line in fear of wasting their vote. Only until one party collapses (either democrat or conservative) will people actually consider voting for smaller parties.

    Because we have a two-party system, it’s extremely unlikely for there to ever be a successful third party. So, people take the alternative. Both the Republican and Democrat parties seek to influence their party from the wings or far end of the party if they want change.

    Nothing stopping people from wanting a third party, or from forming one. But, the likelihood of it achieving any of their goals is slim, so most don’t bother.

    Truth is, and sad part for you perhaps, is that most conservatives are content with the current Republican party. If that changes, the party will have to adapt accordingly.
