It's time for a "Tea Party" of the left to take down pro-surveillance Democrats in the primaries.

Maybe all right-thinking (as in clear headed, not right vs left politics) Americans should dispense with the corporate duopoly presented to us by both the GOP and the Democrats.

You're 100% right, but you can't win on 3rd party in the US and even if you did your options are people like Ron Paul (good with many policies but dangerous on others).

The best is to do exactly what the GP said: invade a popular existing party. Though, my choice would be the republicans because I anticipate backlash against the dems in the next election cycle.

> you can't win on 3rd party in the US

We used to think that in the UK too.
