Anyone else ever thought about starting or joining a new/marginal political party?And if we had to change the name of the Republican party, what would you suggest?

The most common of course is Libertarian - which I have examined and rejected a couple of times because it just wasn't what it claimed to be - small-"L" libertarian.

The Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party was a huge success for the most part. It will no doubt find resurgent numbers if the Communists hold the presidency.

The TEA Party was perfectly named.

The Great Open Party might benefit from being called something like the Anti-Polemics Party (APP) or even the Republican Anti-Polemics Party (RAPP). heh

Well, the TEA party pulled it off. Maybe there is some chance another such effort might succeed. --- LateForLunch ( 11/18/2020, 16:26:06 ) ( 2138 bytes ) +1

Where are they now? And technically, the Tea Party wasn't a party at all; it was a movement. --- TEEBONE ( 11/18/2020, 16:29:14 ) ( 2 bytes ) +1

Forgive me, I misspoke but that faction contributed strongly to the still-strong Freedom Caucus, didn't they General? --- LateForLunch ( 11/18/2020, 16:35:50 ) ( 2 bytes ) +1

No denyin' it. But they were a faction within the party, not a party themselves. --- TEEBONE ( 11/18/2020, 16:53:58 ) ( 313 bytes ) +1

Of course you're correct sieur, but wasn't that how the Republican party started, General? --- LateForLunch ( 11/18/2020, 17:46:20 ) ( 2249 bytes ) +1
