There is no larger 3rd or 4th party. That is a big part of the problem.
There is no 'uncola.' There are two colas to choose from. Both the Libertarians and the Greens are diametrically opposing extreme viewpoints.
I find little congruence with either of them and very limited congruence with the Democrat or Republican parties. So, I end up choosing who will do the least harm to my personal position. I don't find my situation that bad. So, trashing what is there and starting over is not a real option I am willing to entertain.
The ball is in the Republicans court 100% now. They will get the blame or credit due them -- no excuses accepted.
