No-Label's Party Better To Stay Out Than In In A Bad Way!

Forget about Trump and your opinions about 2024's candidates, that ship has sailed. It is all lies and half-truths from here on.
What needs to change is the temperament of a over informed, usually falsely informed, group of hostile players and out of government feeding social media.
"No Labels" expects to accomplish that. Good luck. But it may help set some needed standards reporting by the big guns in '2028.
BUT. All No Labels can do today is make it worse.

 

You can’t forget the candidates, it’s the candidates that drives how people vote. Well, republicans and democrats will vote the letter behind the name regardless of the candidates. What do you do if both major parties come up with two unwanted bum candidates in the eyes of most Americans? Usually sit it out if the past is any indication. Candidates matter. If the two major parties fielded better, more liked, more wanted candidates, no labels wouldn’t be a consideration. No labels is a consideration only because of the two candidates chosen by both major parties. Candidates matter, especially to the independent voter who for the most part don’t give an owl’s hoot about political parties.


Then too, there’s always RFK Jr. If no labels becomes a major player, blame that on the two major parties who refused to listen to most Americans. Of course, they don’t have to. It’s their right to choose whoever they want regardless of what America as a whole thinks of their choices. It will be the two major parties that gives no labels their opening.

 

If there are only two candidates how would ranked voting change anything?

 

So you want multiple nominees from each party?

 

I agree with you about having more options. To me the worst possible option is a single party system. A little better is a two party system. A bunch better is a multiple party system and the best is a no party system. In our system, the two winners in the political party sweepstakes have successfully quashed all competition.

Our system is designed for voters to elect people not parties and voters appear to be less than competent at hiring leaders. The democratic systems that have a bunch of parties are those designed to have voters elect parties rather than people. So at least they end up with the second best option and we have gone with the second worst. Our system would be better if there were no political parties. I can't see how human nature would allow a no party system, however.
