58% OF AMERICANS WANT A THIRD
PARTY, SAID GALLUP
On September 24th, Gallup reported that, http://www.gallup.com/poll/177284/americans-continue-say-third-political-party-needed.aspx
“A majority of U.S.
adults, 58%, say a third U.S. political party is needed because the
Republican and Democratic parties ‘do such a poor job’ representing the
American people”
Eric Zuesse suggested that the Vermont’s independent U.S.
Senator Bernie Sanders, might actually be able to compete seriously in 2015 and
2016 for the U.S. Presidency, if he runs as an independent (as he has said he
might do).
In my opinion Senator Sander is certainly a very respectable
person, his job as Senator is admirable and he is one of the prominent figures as
candidate for the Presidency. However,
presenting him as an “independent” is a bad departure in American politics. All
“independent” candidates to the presidency were defeated by the bipartisan
system. The current system cannot be
defeated by “independent” persons. The old system can be defeated only by a nation
united in a common Front. That PEOPLES FRONT requires at least minimum principles and a
minimum Program to mobilize all people dissatisfied with the bipartisan ruling
parties. This is the debate that we should foster consistently from the very beginning.
We don’t need more “independents” . That is a trap to
legitimize the current bipartisan scum.
What we need is a single PEOPLE NATIONAL FRONT against wars and neoliberal speculators (bankers and
Wall Street crooks). We need all colors coalition to adapt a New Deal to our time in order to
rebuild America. This task requires convincing people that the old system only exacerbates
the explosive inequality and that is the
source of instability, corruption, violence and chaos at national level and worldwide.
We need to convince them that the bipartisan system do not represent the
interests of the working and middle classes, not the young generation nor the
elders. We need to convince people that both democratas and republicans are
financed by the same big corporations to serve them, as Bush and Obama did it.
In parallel to the ideological battle we need to contact and
organize the honest people inside those parties –those inside grass root org- and
demand their public renounce to the bipartisan system. We need also to prevent an y divisionism among
the progressive and radical org who start this movement. Then will come the
local and State assemblies to debate first
the minimum program and 2nd nomination of candidates for State Senate
and the candidate for the Presidency. The final candidates of the Unitarian
Front for senate and house should be
selected in democratic State Assemblies. The same with the single candidate for
the Presidency: he should be selected in a National democratic primary.
Before these internal elections, we should publicly debate on
a minimum Program based on common principles and people demands: for instance not wars, not neoliberal policies.
For a New Deal with Tobin tax to all financial transaction!. The message and
language should be oriented to capture demands of the labor, productive capitalists,
young people, new emigrants already installed in America, poor and middle classes,
elders and all working classes.
There is a lot of work to be done before the creation of the
National Front, and during the process of consolidating this organization.
It will be easy to depart from one single figure and
organize all the other work around him, but we already tried that way and we
failed. We should start now from the bottom up and by creating first a solid consciousness
and strong networks org, and mobilize people with simple emblems. The
theoretical debate should be oriented and limited to build common principles
and the minimum program. So, the focus -at the beginning- should not be on
persons. We should put on 1st our socks, then the shoes; not in
reverse.
