Doensn't it seems like there is adequate room for a 3rd party--we
could call them the "Realists"?


According to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._United_States,

the USA already has at least these 37 political parties:

Republican Party Democrat Party Libertarian Party Green Party
Constitution Party America First Party American Party
American Populist Party American Third Position Party
Americans Elect Party America's Party Christian Liberty Party
Citizens Party of the United States Communist Party of the United
States of America
Freedom Socialist Party Independence Party of America
Independent American Party Jefferson Republican Party Justice Party
Labor Party Modern Whig Party National Socialist Movement
Objectivist Party Party for Socialism and Liberation
Peace and Freedom Party Prohibition Party Raza Unida Party
Reform Party of the United States of America Socialist Action Party
Socialist Alternative Party Socialist Equality Party Socialist
Party USA
Socialist Workers Party United States Pacifist Party
United States Pirate Party Unity Party of America Workers World Party

If you want to form a 38th party and call it the "Realists Party",
nobody's stopping you.


I knew there were really more than two, but I did not know there were
37! I think that the main two parties love it when folks go off and
sub-divide (rendering the main two parties more powerful).

Without some change, things could get uglier.
