Democrats are banding together to oppose Zohran Mamdani, a “democratic socialist,” who has won the New York City Democratic primary. Republicans are banding together to try to block President Trump’s attempts to impose tariffs perceived as harmful to the US and his unilateral use of the military against other countries. Elon Musk is claiming he will start a third political party. Such third-party attempts have universally failed in the US.

Perhaps, however, there will be a third, national party formed not from he “outside” but the “inside”: Democrats and Republicans who are fed up with the polarization, with the attempts to merely claim and remain in power, and extreme positions that do not help the American people. Can you name at the moment a Democrat or Republican who has you highly motivated to support for president in the next election?

The average age in Congress right now is approximately the age at which most Americans are expected to retire. If you don’t believe both parties aren’t merely trying to maintain power for themselves, ask why they haven’t backed term limits for themselves, and why some of them—in office for 50 years—have served longer than almost every European monarch.
