  • I’m not sure. Claude said


    Forming a new political party in the United States is a complex process that involves navigating federal and state regulations. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

    1. Develop your platform: Define your party’s core values, positions, and policy agenda to differentiate it from existing parties.

    2. Create an organizational structure: Form a committee with leadership roles (chair, treasurer, secretary) and establish bylaws governing your party’s operations.

    3. Register at the federal level: File with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by submitting Form 1, “Statement of Organization” if you plan to raise/spend more than $1,000.

    4. Register in individual states: Requirements vary significantly by state, but typically include:

      • Gathering signatures (ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands)
      • Filing specific paperwork
      • Paying filing fees
      • Meeting state-specific thresholds
    5. Build local chapters: Establish a grassroots presence by organizing at the local level in communities across your target states.

    6. Field candidates: Run candidates in local and state elections to build visibility and credibility.

    7. Work toward ballot access: Each state has different requirements for getting your party on the ballot, often requiring a minimum percentage of votes in previous elections or petition signatures.

    8. Fundraise: Develop a funding strategy that complies with campaign finance laws and regulations.

    Think of forming a political party like planting a tree - you need strong roots (grassroots support), a sturdy trunk (organizational structure), and many branches (local chapters) before you can bear fruit (electoral success). The process requires patience, as most successful third parties in American history took years or decades to establish themselves.

    For more detailed information, you might want to consult your state’s secretary of state office website or the FEC website (https://www.fec.gov/).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​



  • I’ve said it yesterday, and I’ll say it again:

    This is nice and all, but talk is (now very) cheap. I’ll believe the USA stands the slightest chance of surviving this coup if it is met with actions.

    And there’s only one action you can take: Form a new party!!! Don’t call it Labor or Labour. Don’t call it Green. Don’t call it progressive. Don’t call it socialist or liberal. Just give it a name that people understand and don’t have preexisting bias against. The “Party For The People”, “Ninety-Nine Percent”, or whatever.

    Take on BOTH the democrats and GOP, and constantly and endlessly keep dominating the conversation that they are bought by special interest and you are representing the people.

    Become popular overnight. Keep hammering home it is not about skin colour, race or country of origin, but about the billionaires that aren’t happy with paying no tax and having billions. Make it about the 99%.

    And it won’t be easy, you need 2 Justices on the Supreme Court to Magically drop dead in your first term, and you need have supermajority in both houses for at least 4 years so you can overturn Roe v Wade and most importantly Citizens United. Don’t just overturn but make amendments to the constitution so this can never be up to 7 muppets with life long appointments.

    It is the only way you’ll get your country back without excessive violence. The two status quo parties are hollowed out from the inside. And both are infiltrated by foreign interests.
