Something we all should be worried about.

The problem is that the 2 parties control the system. The only way a 3rd party can debate is if they get at least 5% of the vote in the previous election.

After the disastrous results of the 92 election, no one wants to touch a 3rd party. Off the top of my head, I compare 3rd party to young persons 401K, takes a couple decades to realize it was the right thing to do. We don't have 2 decades to spare.

Hadn't considered that. Interesting perspective. I guess I'm thinking more of getting rid of the party based primary system. I think that would eliminate a lot of the need to push candidates to the extremes of their parties to get nominations.

You Know, that is what the left has been doing for years." Trying to eliminate us, silence us, the right." The left also wants to keep us guessing and fighting amongst our selves. The perfect election for the left is when there is nobody from the right to run against.,, It's like packing the SCOTUS, and getting rid of the filibuster. It is all the same scenario, once you get past the words written on the paper. Come own America, open your eyes and ears. Ray Charles can see this from 6ft down. Eliminating the other parties from every thing, is their gold, Ask any Jew how that worked out for them.

Yep, when two parties no longer control their own primarys--then only one party will control everything. That works out about the same as when only one party gets to record ballots with no observers present.
In many countries, you can vote for whoever you want but the winners are always preselected by those in power. Their elections are only in appearance and not real elections at all. (North Korea, etc., etc.)

I see and understand your point of view. What's happening today, certainly isn't working. I believe that the problem today with our elections is an inside job run and controlled by DEMS and their big TECH DONOR's and people like George Soros, and CROOKs like Stacey Abrams, and Raphael Warnock, Jon Ossoff. Not to mention the media and their part. JM2C & MHO, The facts point straight to them once you get through the BS and smoke screens. That's why Ohiden is about to take office and on the 01/20/2021, America will become a Socialist and Communistic Country. Heck we are already there, the whole country is waiting on checks from the government and they are sending twice the amount over seas, so some little Iranian can tell what sex he/she is. Common since tells me that problem can be cured by dropping your pants and a mirror if needed. The truth is, we are rite back to the days of Odumbass,
He still thinks Iran's nuclear force isn't up to par with the bad old USA.

Thomas Jefferson considered the fall of freedom and said,

"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."

Amen.
Where do we see ourselves in 1 year and the 2nd Amendment? I will be the first to say I have taken it for granted most of my life. It's now time for those who do not care about the semi auto ar15 platform or other auto loaders to start caring because you are next. Most of us have seen the Fudd(I say that affectionately) and semi auto crowd divide and now it's time to support each other.

Those of us who value our constitutional republic must all hang together or we will all hang separately. And yes, that is a quote of one of our fathers.

That's because 3rd parties don't have access to public funds or aloud to the debates unless they can get 5% of the vote. This is a rule set up by the 2 parties to prevent 3rd parties from having a chance. Take that power away from the 2 parties and reform campaign contributions and we could have a multi party system. Also, no one complains about 3rd parties when they are stealing votes from the other side. Republicans didn't complain about John Anderson back in 1980.

AR15.COM is the latest victim of the left destroying America.

"On Monday, January 11, 2021, I received notice from our site registrar that AR15.com had violated their terms of service and that AR15.com would be shut down immediately. The registrar's decision to de-platform AR15.com was final and no method to appeal was offered.

It remains unclear specifically what content allegedly violated the registrar's terms of service."

With the swift work of staff they have routed the site to back up hosting and are currently moving the content.

Go Daddy was the host in question and this should scare the hell out of anyone that believes in our afforded rights. Like or not the website, the purge has begun. I am not trying to start a panic thread nor a revolution just passing on some information that will affect us all.
Good luck and stay safe.

One simple 2 syllable word applied to Go Daddy by every conservative will send Go Daddy into a death spiral. Boycott!

That is because there was no need to, Reagan topped all candidates combined in the total vote. !992 a whole different beast, let's not argue about this, I am pretty certain we are on the same page.

I think we need a third party with centrist values to bring both parties back toward the middle. I like to think that the majority of Americans are NOT with these extremists from either side.
