    Im Looking for a New Political Party, Any Ideas?

    I hate trump and think he is doing an absolutely terrible job

    I hated clinton and was glad to see her lose, just as sad to see trump win.

    I watch these kids rioting against trump and the immigration ban and cant identify with them, if that is being a liberal or Dem these days, thats not me.

    I read 8 years of racist remarks towards obama and michelle and their two daughters, and now those same people are calling for walls to be built, Hard working Mexis to be deported for no real reason. If thats being conservative or Rep, I aint know Republican.

    Im just a middle of the road, common sense man that believes in reigning in gov't spending across the board (yes even social programs), I am socially liberal, live and let live, I work hard and want to keep what I can, I like to travel and relax, love fly fishing. I want to see us in less wars and invest more in education, particularly STEM schools and degrees. I am pro-gun rights but think the nra has run a campaign to create uncecessary fear to drive memberships.

    Doesnt seem like there is a party anymore that represents notmal people like me. Both parties and their followers have gone polar extremes and it makes me sick.

    Green party is out, tea party is out

    Independent is close but thats not a party, just a lack of affiliation

    Seems most independents are sane and rational people, but they aren't represented as a whole, kind of sad.

    I'm pretty much the same. I consider myself socially liberal, and fiscally conservative. Damn, I hate saying that liberal word. I'm moderate, and a registered Independent. Though obviously I lean right. No far side can be completed right. Until DC figures that out, we're fcked.

    I know you don't like the man, but Trump is shaking up the radical two party system.

    And btw buddy to be clear most people want those hard workers deported because well it's fairly simple there committing a crime there is a law our country holds that lays out precisely how you get in this country and it's not threw a river or over a wall....I never understood why people don't understand this, it's Fairly simple. Look I'm all for people who want to start a life in America but we need to monitor that and have them use proper channels if you disagree please tell me why. Now the people who are already here and have started a family and are not receiving federal or state assistance should be given a background check then given a social security card. Any criminals or people who are here illegally completely dependent on our state or federal aid need to go man sorry

    Biggest thing that makes me vote Republican is foreign policy. Obama made us look like a bitch for 8 years. Here's my line to cross, and then nananana boo boo whatchu gonna do, bitch. Oh, that's right. Nothing. There wouldn't be as big of a refugee problem across the land if he wasn't a bitch.

    Mafckers know the deal, now.

    Also trade deals that have fleeced us, like a clearance sweater at the thrift store. Falls apart within one wash.

    Those rioting are not Dems. They are punk kids who were pent up in mommy's basement in need of some excersize.

    Peaceful protests are registered Dems. Repubs like to confuse the two. Always lumping everyone in the same basket.

    Stay the course. This election is nothing more than history repeating itself. After Trump is done, a Dem will have to
    come in and clean it up..........again!

    They are dems, but a different breed of Dem. They were made by 8 years of being shelters in the fake reality of Obama world, where it isn't okay to talk about anything. This is the result of years of PC bullshit, enjoy blaming anyone else but what your boy Obama.

    Kraken you don't need to associate with any political party. You have a career and a family. If you make good money you don't worry about all that.

    I'm not part of a party...

    I personally believe in America first but also believe in equal rights for all....equal not preferential

    I identify more with Ron Paul's platform to be honest

    Liberal agenda and media have pushed me to the right and I know plenty of other middle of the road people who feel the same way

    Enough is enough

    This pretty much. You'll probably never find a party that you'll always agree with, but Libertarian Party is more consistent than most, so if you agree with their core principles you won't often find yourself on different sides of issues from them. Fiscal conservative/socially liberal fits them the best, but they're about freedom at the core. Most people can relate to that but seem willing to throw away their votes on a Republican party which only talks about it or a Democratic party which views it as dangerous and offensive.

    Bottom line: think for yourself on all issues, but if you have to choose a party that's more likely to agree with you AND you're serious about wanting people to have the freedom to make choices (both good and bad) instead of having the nanny state force its own decisions on everyone, then welcome aboard

    I've always looked at people who identify with a political party as people who can't think for themselves, and rather just think in lockstep with a larger group of people. I don't respect any of them.

    You can have it all by deciding you don't want any of it. It's pretty great, not gonna lie.

I am not sure blaming the parents for all of this is going to cut it.

    Well if you look at who's smashing shit up, it kids. Spoiled by mommy and daddy and don't give two shits what they
    do when they leave the house. Blacks and whites alike. Christ, they even smash shit up when their team wins.

    Obama wanted to treat everyone with respect as we all should. That's where the PC shit came from.

    You can thank the cops for targeting blacks and putting their lights out. Right or wrong doesn't matter.

    You can't argue the fact that when the Repubs wanted voter ID, moved voting polls out of the reach of inner cities,
    stopped after church voting and limited absentee voting as racist?

    From a peaceful PC president to a big blowhard, people are scared of him. He keeps giving them ammo.
    All he has to do is STFU!

    You have some good points, I would say though that all this stupid shit going on really doesn't make the dem side look very good. I mean whether you like Trump or hate him, he is the President and no matter what side you are on its time to come together. These petty charades are getting old and its only weeks in. I know you will disagree with me on this one but for me I couldn't be happier America is going in a different direction. The last thing we needed is more of the same for the next 4 years. Either way, people just need to quit and let the man do his job, we can all judge him afterwards.

    I respectfully disagree. Many things Trump is doing goes against tens of millions of peoples core values. Things that make America already great are being compromised by Trump, in their opinions.

    And when that is the case, being silent and judging afterwards is absolutely a terrible suggestion. You should be encouraging people to exercise their first amendment right, just like the gop did for the last 8 years. Nobody stood by idly and just let Obama do his thing, he was challenged every step of the way, yet now you're calling on Dems to compromise their beliefs and values just so Trump can do his job? That doesn't seem fair

    Stay away from politics. It's all fixed. Politicians are nothing but liars, thieves, and whores. They don't give a crap about you or me. They're only in office to get richer and make their friends richer. And it's not just a USA thing. Politics from the beginning of time in every country in the world has been corrupt.

    That is because the world sees those peaceful registered Dems letting those "punk kids" mingle back in with them and disappear after they smash out windows and set fires.

    Shouldn't the peaceful registered Dems be distancing themselves from these punk kids?
