The two-party system is entrenched in the United States, making it impossible to achieve meaningful political change simply by voting.

“I'm not saying that we don't need a third party, but voting seems to not get us anywhere. That's my biggest thing.”

Third-party movements in the United States consistently fail because the system is designed to maintain the two-party status quo.

“Third parties have never worked. So, he can have fun with it, but uh I think it's ridiculous.”

The political environment is currently ripe for a significant independent candidate or ticket in the near future.

“I have never seen a moment this ripe. So I don't know that it's going to happen in 2028, but it might.”

A third party is necessary to provide real dynamism and responsiveness because the two-party system is unlikely to deliver substantial change.

“it forces folks to start looking at third parties. It's the only way to have any real dynamism or responsiveness in the system.”

The two-party system is failing to meet needs, and people should take third-party candidates more seriously to avoid repeating this cycle.

“We'll never end up getting a another person outside of this two-party fold, this two-party recipe if we don't if we don't start looking at these other parties and taking them more seriously.”
