Shall the populist come back from the grave? [View All]

Populist Party in the 1880s?

Folks it is time that people realize the Democrats have been coopted to the point that we now must seriously consider a third party...

Now I know historically the track record of third parties, must go the way of the do do... but one succeeded beyond a shadow of a doubt, and that was the GOP. Another one came close, the Populist party, which actually had a fairly strong representation in Congress (and woke the Democrats the hell up)... so it is time for those to consider voting third party and forming a third party. It is quite clear that the Democrats don't want us... and none of us could ever vote for a Puke (unless they do their wonderful switch as they are prone to do with the Dems... ) But history is clear, we must take the future into our hands... and the Democratic leaders are not leaders... so time to show them the door... and go our own POPULIST way.

And no, the Dems are not a valid alternative to the devils in DC... and as long as they are not an alternative, guess what? Diebold or not, the GOP will continue to win, after all better to vote for the devil you know, than the one you have no clue.

Oh and what happened to the Populists? By 1900 or so most of their ideas were absorbed by the Democrats... yuo may even know some of their ideas as the New Deal.
