In the fifty-five days since this account was created it had made four thousand, four hundred and forty-two submissions.
This averages out to one every seventeen minutes and fifty seconds twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week.
So just another Conservative Party then? Or will it be astroturfing again like a repeat of the Tea Bagger movement?
The former. The latter wasn't really independent - and recent US political history would be quite different if it were. (Can you imagine if the GOP and a separate "Tea Party" had separate parties and then ran different candidates in the general election?)
The one time I can like FPTP - if this happens in the way that I want (with the GOP basically splitting) then it'd likely mean many more Dems wins across the board thanks to the conservative vote getting split.
Who knows what the Republican party will be post-trump. I don't think it makes sense to run to a 3rd party just yet for them. And no one is following a Cheney to improve the lives of Americans.
Here’s the thing: A big, multi-issue campaign — the kind that wins elections — is more like a bus than an Uber. It’s probably not going to pick you up exactly where you are and drop you off exactly where you want to go.
You might not think that’s ideal. But you shouldn’t take a bus in the wrong direction out of spite — or sit on the curb and go nowhere.
Now this is brilliant. I'm going to use this for sure.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
