Should we have a "White Party" as the third party (to complete Red, White and Blue) in American politics?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) April 23rd, 2018

Our nation is sharply divided and our elections are close.

Most of us admit that if real systemic change is going to happen, it’ll have to come from an independent third party. That’s why sixty percent of Americans now say a new political party is necessary to break the staunch party ties and division and obstruction in government.

Most of us, I think, vote not by party lines but vote the lesser of two evils, or for the candidate with the best ideas. And those who call themselves “independents” today represent the largest “party” of all, 43 percent , compared to those who identify themselves as Democrats (30 percent) and Republicans (26 percent).

I propose that we call this new party the “White Party” in order to complete the red-white-blue sequence of colours.

In Washington, we have the “White House” and all those white Grecian and neoclassical monuments that are perfect for the symbolism.
