I wanted to talk about JD Rucker’s interview with Steve Deace, but I really felt compelled to tell you about why we are stuck with the Republicans and Democrats and why we can’t replace either of them. That in part is because of Duverger’s Law, and how that infected modern American politics. You can read that previous piece by going to the link below.

In Steve Deace’s interview with JD Rucker; he admits that he had a successful business and that he could have just focused on that, and try to be a good provider for his family. However, as a citizen of America he decided that he needed to be the one to truly step up and look for a new way to break the current two-party system; and how they keep certain players in place in spite of the primary system. I disagree with the ideal Steve Deace presents that the current established 3rd Parties are fragile. The problem with them is that these political parties are nothing but a protest, throw-away, wasted, All of the Above Vote. Have these parties actually tried to run at the local levels, regional levels, county levels, and state levels? Not as much as they should be.
As a fan of KOA NewsRadio’s Mandy Connell out of Denver, Colorado; one thing that she said about third parties when I called in to her show is that they need to start locally and build from there. Rucker is doing what Mandy Connell told me what a 3rd Party needs to do, in their quest to truly replace a political party. You start with your city governments, school boards, country governments (including the local sheriff), College-University regions etc. Get grass roots people truly involved in the hands of pulling the levers in Government at the local levels. With that momentum, you can then focus on the State Levels, and after that our Federal levels. THEN you can focus the BIG House itself…The White House. You heard the saying, ‘all politics is local.’ Well, when you start out small you got to focus on what is truly local.
At the same time, you must find allies in the fight, and the biggest that you must have are people that are truly pulling “Media” levers to support you; especially those who have not been corrupted by the current two-party system at varying degrees. Those kinds of people will forever change their opinions not necessarily based on their honest convictions, but by the whims of certain masses of what a group of people think about things. They will also be at a minimum those who are remaining cultishly loyal to Duverger’s Law, as the likes of Hugh Hewitt and Connell’s predecessor on KOA NewsRadio Mike Rosen are. Mark Levin while an honest constitutional scholar will still work within the whims of Duverger’s Law trying to uncorrupted what was already corrupted, and his history reminds us; that is truly Mission: Impossible…Good Luck Mark but your government will eventually “self-destruct.” Maybe not in ‘five seconds,’ but it will eventually. I do believe that a Convention of States (Article V) must happen however.
I totally agree with Rucker and the fact that the Federalist Party must do whatever humanly possible to stay a Grass Roots party and never be influenced by either big money regardless if that is from Big Labor or Major Corporations. The Big Union bosses or the Big Corporate officers must never become the voice of the Federalists like they did with the Democratic and Republican parties. Otherwise we shall the swamp that we are trying to drain now…only get swampy once again…if not ever and/or worse.
