Starting A New Political Party

[NewHaven]

I have this idea to start a new political party in america(Silly I know), but it is something I feel strongly.

It is just me by myself brainstorming ideas. IMO, I am not a fan of either the republicans or the democrats because I do not believe that either side cares about the citizens. Every four years I see all my loved ones inspired to vote, only to see them shake their head as things refuse to change. Its not one persons fault and their are politicians that mean well....but they are few and far between to me and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of just standing by when I know I can help change things. However, I want to hit the root of the problem.

Protesting, shouting, marching DOES NOT WORK, at least not anymore. Wall street criminals laugh as they past the protesters and head for another day of robbing people. Voting is also a waste of time as long as we keep voting for the same types of garbage. Kissing babies, big smiles, wonderful speeches and inspirational pep rallys maybe great for building unity to when a football game, but it is irrelevant to how a country should be run. It will no longer work to lead mankind to the 22nd century.

Politicians are nothing but 'People Champions' to me, an illusion of choice. They are actors. My definition of Presidents is..a performer bought to convince the general public that what the true holders of power are doing to them is in their best interest when it really isn't.

We as a society no longer have the luxury of hiring these frauds, not even good politicians. Politicians are not progressive and they are not problem solvers. Are politicians do primarily is to make budgets and declare war. Laws are created when a problem cannot be solved, but how can any politician solve a problem when most are not trained to solve problems? Who changed your life more? Bill Clinton or Steve Jobbs? It is not politicians that change our lives: Scientists, Engineers, Technicians, Entrepreneurs and Teachers change our lives daily. We shouldn't be electing 'Actors' who are only trained in 'Bi-Partisanship', we should be electing representatives who are trained everyday about how to make society better. America should already have innovations such as Vaccum trains, solar energy and private space travel universally throughout the country, but because of the fear of losing market share, binding red tape laws(pressured by corporations) and bought off actor politicians we do not, and other countries are passing America up as the leading countries in the world(Power to them).

I have an idea to introduce a third political part to rival the reds and blues. This in not the 'independent' party, because our ideals are not based off the views of the left or right, but a completely new perspective that includes ideals from every political view.

Any representative who runs as a member of our party will be someone who is skilled in a field that is relevant to society. They should be brilliant people who have studied for a long time about how to advance mankind. They should help overturn laws that hinder innovation and entrepreneurs, they should make illegal certain forms of lobbyism, they should privatize the space industry in order to use the tax payers dollars to other investments. I care not for speeches or pep rallys, I only care about the advancement of mankind.
Should gay marriage be legal? Its irrelevant because government should not have any say in what marriage is and it should be understood already that anyone who is homosexual should be treated just as fairly as everyone else. It doesn't need to be a law or an amendment, it should be understood because we are no longer primitive people and the fact that politicians spend entire campaigns on the subject is a slap in the face to the american public. It should not have taken this long to help the gay community.

It is the politicians of different nations that are odds with one another, however it is the scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, teachers, etc whom compare and challenge each other's ideas. They are the ones who collaborate for the sake of the idea not because it is a good political move.

This is my dream, to have innovative representatives in a democracy in which they have the skills necessary to advance the country, not for pep rally speeches.

I need help, I need feed back, I need everything. Anyone who has feedback, advice or who wants to be apart of it please let me know.

So a technocratic party?

Sounds like you are libertarian, mistrust (appropriately so) of the banking system, needless entanglement of govenment into personal issues.

I am gay, but I am so sick of the republicans pandering to the churchies,, and the democrats saying they support equal rights for gay people and completely slapping us in the face.

I am quite a bit like you, I am fiscally conservative, socially liberal, avout Christian, moving toward the Anglican church, homosexual and a gun owner.

I am like you because no politician represents me, the two parties are fifty fifty, libertarian party lines up with my views much better, look into them, awareness builds popularity.

New Haven,
I like a lot of what you have said here but this bit in particular stuck out to me. It's important to remember that in anything that could reasonably be called a democracy that the leaders are inevitably selected by the people. Because of this it's fair to say that the leaders we get are the ones that we deserve. The current state of the American nation can be pinned on the American people.
Secondly I disagree that protest/intellectual movements are not effective. OWS and the Tea Party have both changed the political atmosphere in America, although in very different ways. Nothing yielded such radical results as quickly in the past century as the civil rights movement, where in 15 years there was a reversal from policies which discriminated heavily against African Americans to policies where policy directly supported them. Smaller results can be seen from the anti-war movement and the conservative revival which lead to the Reagan revolution. The environmentalist movement is another one to point to that has had definitive success in its own little way. It's grassroots movements, which have had the most obvious affects on the world.
My advice to you would be not to focus on making another third party which has practically no chance of getting anywhere, but instead try to join an existing movement and attempt to enact your influence there.

Essentially Yes. Funny name though

I certainly will, Thank you for sharing your story. I will definitely look into them more.

This makes sense. Thanks for your reply. I will definitely look into different groups, organizations, movements, etc. Do you have any suggestions based on my beliefs in my post?
