Nut jobs on both sides.
I don't know where you draw the line on "socialism bad" , so can't say much lol.
Keep in mind, I'm from Canada, so likely have a different take on things.

Actual representation

@hippydog so another strand that dilutes right wing opposition?

@Geoffrey51 long story, but after having been involved in federal politics, i now believe the whole two party system is its own losing game.. in many cases the small parties can actually make the biggest changes..

@hippydog I agree they can as pressure groups. The Greens have come a long way in that respect

Ive been finding the exact opposite.. but note: i said "agnostic" , not athiest or freethinker..

@hippydog so you d have a tiny political party, made of a tiny group of people with both firm agnostic beliefs, and who rejected other political parties. Basically youd be taking a small group of people who might have been able to make effective contributions in a larger scale organizarion, and render them totally ineffective. But hey, they'd get to hang out with their friends.

I was involved politically locally.. found out (i now believe) choosing "the best bet" over true representation is its own type of losing game..
(Long story lol )
