Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

Nope.

So, the same people who couldn't get past the DNC to get Bernie nominated think they can create a viable 3rd Party in under 24 months?

Stop dreaming of pie in the sky and start worrying about the Dem. Congressional primaries

There is the Labor party, the Democratic Socialists party, now you want to start another one? You need to consolidate people into a single one. Or, more effectively, we could takeover the Democratic Party given the challenges of having a third party in a winner take all system.

32% of America own guns. So right off the bat that 72% number is wrong.

44% live in a household with a gun.

Other than the gun shit, I agree with most of this.

I want legalized Marijuana for example, but I want harsher penalties for its use in public; especially its smell.
