I am not proposing No Lables as a ticket that can win, I view 2024 as an opportunity to weaken the two party system, and shift towards a multiparty system. The two parties are already the aggregation of multiple ideologies. Why not split the parties into smaller subgroups and give voters more options?
I’m also somewhat encouraged by the surge in Independent voters. Voters appear to want better candidates, and appear to be rejecting a desire to be associated with either party. Will this lead to the political duopoly coming to an end? Probably not, since the same thing happened in 2014.
The quality of the political class has been trending down for decades. If rejecting two horrible candidates to make a statement is what it takes to change the balance of power, then I’m all for it.
of how people view politics and government (40+ years of being told it is the enemy) and less a reflection of voter's desire for a party with new views. I say this based on the historical data and more imoportantly the fact most people dont identify an issue with which drives the change. I also think it reflects the fact that while many think divided government is best because it cant do too much, people want government to work and the divided government of the past 15-20 years does not work.
However even if you think I am wrong a WH campaign is the wrong way to accomplish your goal in my view. First, as you admit it is unlikely to win and most likely to send Trump to the WH with the very real possibility of a Republican Senate and House. If you want to push the parties to change go find 20 Senate seats and 50 House seats where the silent middle can flip it from R/D to Independent. The problem is you cant find them.
