This - is not it. He who plays in the defense has to be eternally vigilant and can not loose once.
Best approach in my eye is to form a "one" cause party, whos only "cause" is to power-bust and promptly dissolve afterwards, and not touch on partisan issue. "Block Buster"Party might sound strange, but if the only purpose is to disrupt power imbalances and then self-dissolve to trigger the next election - that could get a majority.
- NineStarPoint 5y agoI know I’d be instantly suspicious of such a party, there’s a long history of groups saying similar things and then just staying in power once they’ve actually gained it.
- rp1 5y agoHow would this one party overcome the partisan divide? Seems like wishful thinking. Is there any evidence of this strategy working somewhere?
- specialist 5y agoParties don't just float candidates in elections. They also form policy, endorse, fund raise, lobby, etc.
- Spooky23 5y agoTammany Hall was this party in New York for a long time. They just didn’t go away. More recently, New York had a thing called the “independent democratic conference” that caucused with the Republican Party to provide them with majority control of the NY Senate. The problem with these types of entities is that they are about power, not policy.
- SkyMarshal 5y agoIt wouldn't, that's the whole point of partisan divides, to distract people from what really matters with more emotional and easy-to-understand but less consequential issues.
- specialist 5y agoYes and: Offense beats defense. My own efforts gained far more traction when I pivoted from opposing evil stuff to advocating good stuff. Further, yes and: With the decline of our political parties, issue based advocacy has filled that void. For better or worse.
