The Rise Of A Third Party
Maybe I'm just California Dreamin' but wouldn't it be loverly if the two major parties actually found a non-partisan Party that would be nice to everyone. Yeah, I know. Not likely.
If the pollsters are telling us the truth, there are many Republicans who couldn't stomach Trump for another four years, and many Democrats who really think Biden is too old and they'd end up with Harris as president.
What to do?. . . what to do?
The logical answer from many nervous political pundits is to come up with a Third Party! What would it be called? The Grand Old Democrat Party? The Liberal Republican Party? The Do-Nothings? The Whig-less Bunch? The Know-Nothings? The choices are endless.
To be honest, the name would be inconsequential. The Party would still fill up with bizarre weirdos like Marjorie Taylor-Greene and Matt Gaetz who only want to make their presence known. . . and felt.
Some of today's Republicans have already morphed into another faction. We can't call it a Party because it is more like a Cult. They are relatively small in numbers and represent the proverbial "tail wagging the dog" in terms of "crazies," but they are loud and follow an authoritarian leader named Trump. In short, they are plenty troublesome enough, and they add to their membership by proving the old P. T. Barnum theory: "There is (one) born every minute."
As to the name for this "Third Party," let's just call it "democracy."
Or, I'd be happy to just stick with the tried and true "The Democrat Party," too!
