I think that this is a pretty good summation of most of the “third party” (not Democrat or Republican) parties in the United States from politics1.com. Everything from the reasonable to the very nutty.
Thoughts:
- I can imagine the U.S. Marijuana Party’s convention must be interesting.
- The Libertarian Party likes to say that they are the 3rd biggest party, but I’m not sure they can back it up.
- Why does anybody – anybody – still vote for Pat Buchanan? And to base a party around him?
- I notice farther out from “normal” on the political spectrum you go, into the far left and right wing nutville, the more political parties there are.
- If all those socialist parties really want to make a difference, instead of just having meetings and printing newsletters, why don’t they combine? Of course, that’s my opinion with many non-profit groups
- It must be getting really hard to think of names for new political parties
- I think it hilarious that the Communist Party USA has an online store
