For the same reason a party only focusing on old people would. It turns out that policy is actually kind of difficult and can’t be boiled down to a Twitter or a TikTok post 😱

So should people just keep suffering with a broken two-party system?

That’s an interesting assumption to make, how do I view politics?

You view them as if factionalism doesn’t exist.

Isn’t wanting more parties literally a part of what factionalism is

How would that even be fundamentally different than if you had a “young people” caucuses in either the Democratic or Republican parties…

I don’t think that a “young person” caucus in either party would result in any meaningful change. Therefore, the vision of creating a new party is rooted in seeing meaningful change

So you’re going the opposite direction and creating more factions…so now instead of just pro-life caucuses, we now have the young people’s anti-abortion caucus in the mix. Damn! I’m sure that will really change politics in the United States!

What are you talking about? I said there should be more parties, not caucuses. Voters shouldn’t have to pick between the “lesser of two evils” every election cycle. Especially when both parties aren’t really listening to those caucuses you keep yapping about.

You are legit talking about turning a caucus into a party. What the fuck do you think Young Republicans and Young Democrats is for? Young people’s “problems” are everyone else’s problems because there is nothing exclusive to young people so much so that it requires an entire political party dedicated to them.

Give me the platform for the Young People’s party btw.

Did you even read the original post? It said centered on young people AND people who are discouraged by the two party system. Young Democrats and Young Republicans doesn’t include people who are no longer comfortable voting for either party

Nah, you just have an incredibly moronic concept is all. “Those who are dislike the two party system and young people”. Go vote Libertarian or Green then lol. See, your problem isn’t that a party for people doesn’t exist, it’s that it also SHOULD be popular in your mind….and it’s just not. It sucks, not only does it suck, you should feel bad for being that stupid for even bringing it up.

The existence and prominence of more parties in the US is hindered primarily because the two in control have a strangle-hold on the power and money that keeps the system running. And they have pretentious and brainwashed monkeys like you to go around telling people that their hopes for a better system are… whatever the fuck you just said 💀

I have quite literally told you to go start your own party and good luck and you’re still balling your fucking eyes out about it. I’d rather take the chance finding new leadership in the Dem party than starting whatever grassroots shit heap idea you have that isn’t going to leave the safety of your room.

Anonymous __joker__ 3w

I’m not sure where I’ve been “balling” or when you told me to make my own party? The idea for new parties is very much happening beyond my bedroom, you just said yourself that a Green Party and a Libertarian party exist. You’re welcome to take that chance if it’s your prerogative. If you feel the dem platform represents your beliefs and values then by all means vote for them. But this weird hate-boner you have towards people considering alternative options comes off as some major insecurity

Honestly man, I can really appreciate your vigor and vitality and it seems like you have some real frustrations towards something. However, those frustrations may be better served punching up than punching down I’m going to continue this thread on the original post, potentially free of the Debbie Downer here💀

>what do you think the agenda would look like? Shit. “Why do you have such a hate boner!” If you think there’s only two political parties in the country, then you really are a moron…but the thing is, you and I both know there’s not. You and I both know every other party is unpopular as fuck because their platforms are shit and the mass majority of people don’t vote for them because of those platforms lol

I never said there were only two parties in existence? My previous comment literally mentions the libertarian and green parties. I agree, both of those parties have poor platforms and are thus not popular. Your solution is to keep on with the status quo, which again is entirely your choice, but I don’t think it’s really THAT crazy for other people to consider making a platform that isn’t shit. I just don’t understand why you are so aggressive and angry

Anonymous #1 3w

You mentioned those parties because I mentioned them lol. You’re trying to make the point of “Well see! These parties exist so it can be done!” You even admitting now that they both have poor platforms and you’re essentially telling people more or less “but yeah, ours will work though unlike theirs!”

I’m “angry” and “aggressive” because of how little people actually think when they say this kind of stupid shit. Your response to a two-party system not representing you is to quite literally do one of the most impossible fantastical concepts by starting a new party and you ask me why I’m essentially an asshole? 😂 Like lefties are ecstatic about Zohran, but he ran as a Democrat…you know, the party that doesn’t represent them.

So like when you ask me that, I only can look at you like you’ve been eating paste because that’s really the only reasonable understanding of suggesting that idea.

Am I though? You REALLY like jumping to conclusions when it’s convenient for you. I’ll say it again, I think it’s not a crazy idea for people to be considering new platforms. Who knows if they work or not, but acting so fucking mad about people being done voting for the two primary parties in the US is really strange of you

Anonymous __joker__ 3w

People like you are the reason more folks are turning away from the democrats as well. Why would I want to vote for your candidate when you absolutely crash out at the thought of some differing perspectives and talk down to me with such contempt? I’ll vote for a candidate who aligns with my values instead of the corporate shuffle-in whose only platform is “I’m not Trump”

I see that your frustration is grounded in a disdain for outlandish idealism, and I understand you. Starting a valid political party is an impossible task, especially considering the amount of structural barriers placed so that the system stays how it is and Mamdani’s recent success. However, I would say that an agenda brainstorming thread and the invitation of alternative ideas is not the end of the world and probably should be promoted in discussions like these, no matter where they lead

Anonymous #2 3w

I find it outlandish because, again.., the sheer too stupidly to overlook the most obvious potential idea of running different candidates/running yourself if you’re so invested. It’s not about idealism, it’s the lack of understanding how the system works. It’s clean-slate idealism and yes, I do have utter contempt for these people. I’d rather them rant about how cool Mao is or how much they love Hitler than I would see them lack the cognitive ability to understand something so simple.

People aren’t overlooking it. They don’t want to run for a position with the democrats for all sorts of different reasons, like, oh idk, they don’t agree with the platform? You also forget that the Democratic Party HATES newcomers who don’t align with the establishment. In fact they will actively stamp out younger more progressive candidates in favor of the old guard. You say we’re dumb for “not understanding the system” while also overlooking some glaringly obvious facts about it yourself…

“But-but-but Mamdani” Yeah sure that’s a start and if more people like him succeed in gaining prominence in the Democratic Party then I’d consider supporting them again but as I see it right now I’m not interested in the Democratic Party as it exists today. Call me stupid all you want, I’m still not voting for them.
