“It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country"
You know, I heard a rumor that AOC should run for president as an independent party, because she’d never make it through the Democratic primaries, but that would be a terrible idea, because it would split the party. Let’s say 50% of the country is Democratic and 50% is Republican; if the Democratic vote gets split 25% for the Democrat candidate and 25% for AOC, but the Republican vote stays 50% for their candidate, then the Republicans win in a landslide. I have a feeling that this is why the two-party system is so ingrained into our politics.
But if the Republicans also split their party into MAGA and non-MAGA Republicans at the same time, then that election becomes somewhat balanced again, and probably closer to what the founding fathers actually intended. Granted, Elon isn’t calling for a new party for a presidential election, just to stop this bill, but still, it’d be interesting to see an election with four viable candidates rather than two.
independents are pressure candidates. she likely could run as an independent but it wouldnt actually be to become president. it would be for the Democratic party to buy her concession.
Look at what RFK Jr did. he left the race for a cabinet position and policy agreements.
She could use an independent presidential run to pull the dems back towards the left
