Should There be a Third Political Party?

There is stricly Democratic or Republican but some are in the middle. Would it be possible to even make a third party? Just wondering.

Seeing as how we aren't making much progress with the two parties at large, I think we could give a Third Party a shot. I'd cast my vote in for the Libertarian Party.

No doubt. The fact that both Republicans and Democrats continue to fail only proves to get rid of the status quo and make real change.

I whole-heartedly agree.

There are more than 2 parties. But people very rarely ever vote for or pay attention to the people in those other parties. The response I get from people when I tell them I'm going to/have voted for other parties in the past is "Well, I know that the 3rd party never wins, so I voted for the lesser of 2 evils." What?! If everyone who believed this way would vote how they actually believed then what a turn around we'd have!!!

The question is somewhat silly. There are nearly 50 Political parties in America. Some are new, while others are pretty old. With a variety of platforms, they cater to a broad spectrum of social and political views, and needs. To suggest that we need a "third political party" only serves to underline the greater social and political ignorance of the American population as a whole.

Hell yes! We need a centrist party to take the stage and win back America.

No. A Third political party is not pragmatic and a big chunk of votes would be wasted. The Two party system works.
