Let’s pragmatically progress our great society while simultaneously conserving our liberties, with #TheCivicPartyCoalition.

Green, Reform, & Libertarian parties should form a unified left-libertarian front to oppose the oppressive authoritarian-right establishment.

Independent voters still exist, as do third parties.

Hoppe is an “Anarcho”-Capitalist.

Really, he’s just anti-statist. He’s okay with “natural hierarchy,” discrimination, inequality, union busting, corporate, etc.

Most libertarians are much more like Johnson, Jorgensen & Oliver than the “Libertarian Nationalists” at LPNH.

Here is a guide to what the Green Party stands for. Some of these necessitate a nuanced approach that a simple graphic cannot provide, and I am thrilled to hear what others in Allegheny County think! One size doesn't fit all; our community collectively needs to decide what works for us.

Haven’t been as active on blue sky. Sorry for that!

Like Hoppeans, they believe that representative democracy is a tyranny of the majority to legitimatize a violent state. I disagree, of course.

We don’t have fair democracy in America. We have inverted totalitarianism. It’s time to reform elections—let the voters seize the means of representation!

Long before 2015!

LaRouchites started initially under a variant of Marxism (façade), and then reversed.

LaRouche might have been correct about one thing: America turning to fascism. Ironically, he did so too.

I rarely see any LaRouchites in leftist groups I encounter, but I will keep a look out.

No clear ties between either of the organizations. There are bound to be individual members though.

KS needs more political competition—not less. A new lawsuit may bring back fusion voting, a system that once gave 3rd parties real influence. It’s time to give voters more choices, not just red vs. blue. 🗳️⚖️ ‪

Sure. However, NOT the Marxist-Leninist caucus. They are authoritarian.

Some on the so-called left gave Trump full credit for making the difference in the outgoing Biden Administration's proposal to Israel for a ceasefire. Will these same people give Trump full credit for allowing Israeli violations during the ceasefire (killing over 150 Palestinians) and the restart...

I would, if they are in your area.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.

In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.

Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

I have no issue with DEIA. Yet, Dems need to stop with the constant identity politics. Identity isn’t everything. If the party can’t focus (and follow through) on improving the lives of everyday Americans, then they have no future.

That’s their choice, but I highly doubt DNC is capable of change (that’s why I’m now Green). Though, I’d love to be proven wrong. Ultimately, Dems must evolve or die as a party.

Regardless, they need to own up to their mistakes, like propping up Trump in 2016…

How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy

Nah

Each are unique and parties should work together for RCV

Well, we also need the ability for people to have dual-party registration and membership.
