She can fun, she won't win...

@Bleukitty Is Donald Trump really a better option ? Are the republicans really a better option, given how divided the US is.

What is needed is a 3rd party to try and break this deadlock.

@zleap

I have never been against a third party. Trump was a third party, more Libertarian then Republican. So yes, he was very different working within the parameter's he was dealt. I will always support true conservatives, many R's are not that anymore!

@Bleukitty It isl ike here in the UK both main parties have just lost touch with the people of this country.

Perhaps trump should form his own party, and distance himself from the republicans , let them put a candidate forward.

voting should have an option such as none of the above, that way if that vote gets a majority, the election is cancelled (existing party just carries on for a period of time) and re-run after the main parties have had a chance to actually think about it.

Or perhaps also voting forms should have a list of topics such as

Education
Immigration + skills ( so basically how can a country bring in the skills it needs)
Healhcare
Crime
Public services
Environment
Transport / infrastructure

then people can say what is important to them during the candidate process.

Probably will never happen, but politicians are not in touch with the rest of us

@zleap @Bleukitty Trump has previously quashed any talk of a third party. For better or worse, he has chosen to infiltrate and use GOP

@Arcalian @Bleukitty

So is this infrastructure bill that has just been agreed a good thing, if it is helping to repair bridges , etc

@zleap @Bleukitty some good, some bad, but now the real bad bill is no longer tied to it and will not pass

@Arcalian @Bleukitty What was the real bad bill

Sorry not getting much about this in the UK at the moment.
