Political
Parties are an entrenched aspect of the American political
culture. I'm not ashamed to reveal that I dislike them
immensely. Why? If nothing else, they have a tendency
to ignore and or hinder many who could make significant
contributions.
When we
think of political parties, we immediately think of the
Republicans or Democrats. They do, after all, dominate
American politics. But there are many others out there on
the fringes of American politics.
The
following is a list (in alphabetical order) of alternatives to the
Republican and Democratic parties. A few have made
significant inroads into the process, others may get their turn to
become influential in years to come.
Of course,
there are some that shouldn't exist at all. This is America
and all should have the opportunity to express their political
goals. I very much mean that. I just hope that the
majority of us have enough common sense to ignore pure idiocy.
It is important that we protect our rights and in doing so,
protecting their rights as well.
