old folks like us are hard to change. i doubt you would get more than half the voters to change to another party. it might be able to be done but some vote for one reason or another . it may be what the person stood for like abortion, being against it. or maybe closing open borders . however, it may not be enough to change party line.

imo i think a third party would lock in the DNC forever.


Great point John. I have been vacillating on this issue. I am still in the "GOP Sucks" camp, but am moving to agreement with Bongino et al that another party is not the answer. I think that misses the "root cause" of the problem and in essence we are treating symptoms not the disease.

I once asked Simplicity what I could do besides voting and contributing $$. Her response was GET INVOLVED. It starts at the grass roots arena - schools boards, public hearings etc. Some of that is antithetical to conservatives because we are not activists. IT NEEDS TO CHANGE WITH US and as "cantankerous old retired farts" we have the time to do it.
