Coalition Purple

The time for Third Party candidates has never been more

 The Trump trial not only serves as a major distraction for

 Yep, the GOP and Dems are both having a field day by duping the masses through the three standard marketing manipulators:  fear, greed and sex! Bring on the popcorn!

The bottom line is fact-distortion has become normal on most topics.  So a Third Party willing to stand up to clear up misinformation would be attractive to most voters who

 John and Bill also yak about a sure-fire way to (finally)

Between social media “trials” and activist lawyers and

Hey, here’s a third political party position that neither

Additionally, a third party should insist prosecutors focus

No doubt the uneasiness many feel also has to do with the

This is where all of us Independently minded folks need to simply seek information rather than trying to determine an

John and Bill also admit their ignorance when it comes to

Here’s a political prediction you can bank on.  Biden will win California.  Trump (whether in jail or not) will win

Really, all you frustrated Kansas Republicans can rest assured voting for an independent candidate WON’T mean Biden could win your state.  Trump’s win in Kansas is already baked in. 

Same holds true for New York… frustrated Democrats can freely vote third party knowing there’s no way Trump will win the state.

So, get over it.  Send a message this year to the respective political monopolies that we need more choices.  Register your most important vote ever by NOT voting for a UniParty candidate.

Yep, Bill and John yak about why 90% of us can relax when placing a third-party vote for most federal positions, especially for president.  We also talk about the

The GOP claims Democrats are really socialists. Dems claim the GOP are fascists.

We’ve decided to agree with both of them. Because either way both of these UniParty members simply want total control over us ordinary folks.

The “right-left spectrum” no longer exists… they’re all clumped up on one side (let’s call them the “Power Hungry Party”).

At the other end of the spectrum are anarchists (a.k.a. libertarians). We’ll call them Freedom Without Boundaries Party.

Now, the other 80 percent of us are in the middle of this new spectrum. Reasonable rules of the road to keep society from turning our streets into a clown rodeo (with all due respect to clowns). Yet maintain the highest level of personal freedom to live, love and be joyful with respect for all individuals.

This is how a Third Political Party separates itself from today’s political nonsense. In other words, the party becomes a “Political Friend With Benefits.”

Enjoy yourself but within some pragmatic rules and programs so we help each other out… and discourage people from doing really stupid things (yes, we think law enforcement remains a good thing).

John and Bill get deep into the “spectrum” during as we launch our new podcast name… Coalition Purple!

Heck, both the GOP and Dems claim they’re the champions for the average gal and guy on the street. 

But most political arguments end up being about the extremes at each end.  Tax the rich/don’t tax the rich.  More social programs for the poor/make the poor work for it. 

Worship Taylor Swift/Burn Her Records (oh, wait… records really don’t exist any more).

The point is each side names their respective demons at the extremes to create the insanity that drives political fundraising. A third party can break through this craziness by collaborating on policies that create better lives for the 85 percent of us who are not at the extremes of being inhumanely poor — or unimaginably  rich.  

Bill and John yammer about the calamity of the “extremes” in politics and how a third party can tamper down the rhetoric and focus on reasonable ideas most of us would support.

Also, we talk about the silliness of trying to prevent

You can’t have a political movement without a mascot.  Just ask the GOP’s elephant and the Democrat’s

So we have officially named the Goat as the mascot for all

Plus, Goats are friendly and loving… you don’t see many elephants or donkeys in a petting zoo.

In short, Goats like to stand “on top of things,” not only “for” things.  You get a better view of the issues

This is all a prelude to announce that the Beer Money America podcast will soon change its name to “Coalition Purple.” But we’re keeping our Goat as the mascot!

 *A Yak might be another good political mascot.

Should any president… let’s say Biden or Trump… be allowed to kill their political opponents?

We won’t go down that rat hole!  But that’s the recent crazy talk that needs to be eliminated.  How?

A third political party would go a long way to move the country from violent rhetoric and back to rational policy discussions.  

In a nearly 50-50 political divide, even a small percentage of independents being elected provides the leverage of “juststop it or we won’t provide the votes to pass anything!”

Bill and John discuss this “Power of a Small Third Party” as

Along with wondering if the impeachment process is no longer useful.  Is TikTok worse than Facebook, Google, Snapchat or any other social media?  What happened to society’s expectation that people stop being dumb?  The mirage of press freedom these days.  And the evil

Listen in on Episode 14 of Beer Money America… the Purple Coalition of Independent Voters.

OK, some of us failed high school algebra.  But we can do simple addition! 

The “uncommitted” and other protest votes during primaries in places like Michigan, Minnesota and California do add up to a formidable force!

Heck, even here on the Left Coast, a Republican (Steve Garvey) has made it to the U.S. Senate race… versus two Democrats.  The GOP (of course) showed up… but so did the Independents that pushed Garvey over the top. 

Regardless of not having a formal party, these are all good signs that most of us in the middle of the political spectrum

John and Bill also yak about term limits for Supreme Court justices. Could RFK be the celebrity needed to galvanize the Independents?  Why incumbent politicians are bad for the country.  Is the Supreme Court leaning toward NOT

OK, we’re much better at recording our podcast versus posting them.  We jumped on this recording on Feb. 29 (Leap Day) but apparently didn’t leap very far into posting the show!

It’s right before Super Tuesday, and we’re exhausted by all the silly ads criticizing the California U.S. Senate Candidate for the company they keep.  It’s tribalism 24/7 with no substance about

Yep, time for a Third Party!

But we also drop in to talk about Congress’ inability to pass a budget. The “ingenuity” of the Trump trials.  Is the mess the country is in “déjà vu all over again”… or is it even worse? Can pregnant women now drive in the carpool lane in Alabama? It’s time to put age limits on the presidential candidates. Do these old guys running the country understand basic biology and how most abortions are handled these days? If it’s OK to say “Islamic terrorism” is it now OK to say “Christian Terrorism?” It’s time for the Church to leave the State… in terms of politics.

As Ben Franklin said… the only thing certain is death… and

But here’s a real opportunity for a third political party to take a stand.  Let’s push for replacing the income tax with a consumption” tax.  It’s truly the fairest system of all. 

Those in the lower income brackets pay less because they

There’s no monkeying around with loopholes.  Or reams of paper to file tax returns.  You pay a little each time you purchase those

John and Bill also yak about why politicians have little backbone to suggest the next major tax revolution (without throwing tea into the Bay).  Plus, are we becoming exhausted by all special elections to approve bonds?  Are bullet trains in California an oxymoron?  What’s with Florida… supposedly the land of little regulation now wants to tell you what kind of meat you can eat?
