Is there finally enough disgust for reasonable Americans to form a third party? A CENTRIST PARTY?

A Centrist party that will promote the best ideas of  both major parties and reject the extremists?  The Capitol Riot was the the most disgusting thing I've ever witnessed and some people need to see the inside of a prison cell for a long time. The arson and looting and ambushing and murder of police officers last summer comes a close second.

We only have this part of a continent to call our own as a free country, and we have more enemies on this planet than we do friends at this point. Let us not hand over our nation and our freedom to the extremists who will then finish dividing us and hand away our freedom to our enemies. 

I am not wealthy enough to start a political party but I have a little, and I have organizational skills and a desire to spend a lot of time working to help establish a Common Cense Centrist party.  We can still save this country if we reject the ideas and narratives of the extremists, if we don't wait too long. 

No more violence from either side, please.

    I hope beyond all hope that such a thing happens.  This Dem vs Repub choice isn't any good.

    Yes there is room for a fantastic platform, but not enough space allowed to spell anything out in a meaningful way here.

    Money politics is the problem.

    Minor parties don't usually draw enough money to be noticed above the noise coming from the 2 major parties. 

    There are good arguments to be made about allowing equal time in the media for all candidates in an election.

    The democrat party is the centrist party. You loons are just too brainwashed to know it.

    You need to have an actual platform. Claiming that both sides are bad isn't meaningful.
