We are overdue for a moderate, common sense political party in the USA, IMO.
It has been a very long time since third parties were relevant, and that was for a brief time.
Is it possible?
The system is currently set up to keep that from happening.
There have been legitimately good candidates in the past but they either can’t get on the ballot or are not permitted to participate in national debates.
The two parties just will not allow this to happen.
It would take people leaving the two parties in large numbers, forming a coalition, and forming one strong party instead of multiple minor parties. Not an easy task, but there is no place for moderates in either party today.

I think it is a pipe dream… one I strive for nevertheless.
I’ve voted 3rd party for the last 3 presidential elections.
People tell me that it is a “throw-away vote”.
I prefer to vote FOR someone that I want to win instead of settling for the lesser of two evils. In this election the evils were different but equal in my opinion.
