More people need to learn about these parties. Especially the minorities.

Perot was the last time we saw a "third" party candidate in the Presidential debates because they changed the rules to make sure third party candidates do not debate the D and the R. That changed happened when the League of Women Voters were forced out of organizing the Presidential debates.

I Registered to vote last year but I didn't align myself with a party because I didn't know which I agree with, this year I wanted to do more research. After watching 5 other videos I found this video and its starting to make since. Thank you so much for answering the questions I had.

3rd party makes sense... I like the green party.

Implementation of Proportional Representation for the House of Representatives would make all of the people who support these party's ideologies get a voice.

The two party system has dominated thus far, but is not sustainable because America is too fragmented. Around 40% of Americans now identify as Independents, ~30% as Dems, and 25% as Repubs. (Source: Gallup May/Jun '20). The Left isn't a monolithic entity anymore; the moderates have more in common with Independents than with the far left. A third ('Centrist') party that appeals to Independents and moderates in both parties, could lead to a 3 party system: Socialists (Dem party minus moderates), Centrists and Conservatives (Repub party minus moderates). This would align better with people's interests, and possibly encourage more people to vote. Over the past 50 years, 50+% of the electorate has NOT voted every election. In 2016, for example, more than 100 million eligible voters did not vote. Candidates from each party could run and the top two in terms of electoral college votes would be President and VP. The Cabinet could also have candidates from all 3 parties (Lincoln appointed his opponents to Cabinet in 1860). Elected representatives from all 3 parties would be in Congress. This kind of a partnership/coalition approach may be a better way to run the country than the current 'winner takes all' approach. At the very least, Congressmen/women will have more incentive to work better with each other, across the aisle, as each will have 'their guy' in the Executive. As a bonus, the 24/7 news/social media driven partisan BS will subside.

Libertarians are basically a weird mix of Republicans and Democrats. Sometimes I find myself agreeing with a Libertarian candidate at times and sometimes I don't. I do think they are the biggest third party and the one that has the most potential of breaking our 2-party system. Or even replacing one of the 2 major parties. Think of how it would be to haeLibertarian vs Democrats in elections?

What if the People's Party, the Greens, the Libertarian Party, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and all minor parties were to announce, "We will be separate parties again in the future, but until we get Approval Voting in every State, we are going under the banner of the People's Party. We ask everyone to join our parties and get on our mailing lists if you have affinity for our ideologies at all, but also help organize the People's Party and vote for People's-Party candidates until we have won Approval Voting. The Americans have everything to gain and nothing to lose by following this plan. It is the shortest and least violent path to the defeat of corporate rule."

Thanks for the upload.

I'm here preparing for the "REFORM!!!" documentary upcoming by Jon Bois. Thanks for the educational breakdown on the larger picture!

You also taught me math today

The OWL Party of Washington was a minor political party founded in a jazz club, the Tumwater Conservatory, in Tumwater, Washington, to field candidates in the 1976 elections. It was founded by entertainer Red Kelly, owner of the establishment where it was founded. The party's name was a double acronym, standing for "Out With Logic, On With Lunacy", and its motto was "We don't give a hoot!"[1] The ease with which this frivolous party gained access to a place on the ballot led the Washington legislature to significantly increase the difficulty of minor-party access. The changes were challenged, ultimately for the most part unsuccessfully, by established minor parties such as the Socialist Worker

Do you think it's possible for some of these parties to form a coalition to become a viable third party? Along with some progressive democrats.

Great presentation! I’m nearly a half-century old and had no idea what Independents were.

Winner take all is for the presidential election, not congressional. Congress is elected in bite sized chunks, so all that needs to happen is for one chunk to win for the third parties to be represented in Congress. This has happened quite a bit in the past.

Is there a political party in the US with economic views of the left liberals and social views of the right conservative ?

This video makes me sad

You should all understand this. Watch the whole video.

I will say the voting system "we" (I am not an American citizen) have is we only can vote for one person but not like some countries you can make a list or ranking. But this is just what I thought, it might be wrong.

I put this video on “quotes” because this is a “good” video 😉

Green Party for America!

Why not get an seven political party system and get rid the to political parties

Libertarian here, the best party!!!

.

Vote Green. The Green has a great platform but needs a charismatic leader to win.

Math & Reductionism Party

Sadly never have a chance i believe in a woman's right to choose, I believe in some gun control but limited gun control I also believe in some free markets I want a third party...

To all Americans: VOTE HOWIE HAWKINS / ANGELA N WALKER for POTUS/VP 2020. Green Party USA! or Charlie Kam / Liz Parrish U.S. Transhumanist Party for POTUS/VP 2020! Make the White House Green or Transhumanist in 2021! You can't blame Greens, Transhumanists, Marxists, Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, or Libertarians. They're not the ones in power.

First

So, you life in a Democratorship ? All advanced Democracy’s changed their system from Majorical to Proportional... This is how democracy works. Imagine this actual system would happen for the Senate and the Congress ...!!!

Trumpist party is the best
