Maybe, an important step in this country’s political system. Just hope it’s not too late. I am a big believer of such a move. [yahoo.com] ”...a Gallup poll last year showing a record two-thirds of Americans believe a third party is needed.”

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Not a third Party. What we need is multiple parties representing a variety of views on both sides of the spectrum, like most other countries have. A third Party would just split whichever Party they branched out from and assure that they could never win an election in the vast majority or races. If Progressives broke from the Democrats, it would be hard to imagine either of them winning in any election against a unified Republican Party. If Trumplicans split from Republicans, it would insure many more wins for Democrats. If there were 5 or 6 Parties representing various factions of both, they would have to make more effort to represent the outsiders.

It's easier to enslave people with only a two parties system
Your owners will tell you on how and what to think anyway.

If you want a center right party, you've already got one, the Democrats.

MizJ:
Indeed, thanks to neoliberalism.
Outside Primaries the voters have not indicated that they want leftist politics. Bernie (whom I voted for twice) would likely not have done better than HRC (who won the popular vote by 3 million). POTUS Joe has been having a tough time passing liberal bills so I don't see a Progressive doing better.
I'm a fan of the ranked voting system and the candidates for both sides of each Party, liberal and conservative, should be candidates in it. Maybe a Centrist for each, as well, for six candidates. The voters could choose the preferences and the winning two candidates become POTUS and VP. We could get a split Party Admin but it would be an interesting time.
I do not consider Democrats center right but far left. Besides, the big problem is the two parties have gotten extreme and can't seem to agree on very much.
