Yes. Dr. King's famous speech containing the idea that people should not be judged by the color of their skin would not go over well today with many of today's extreme leftists, many of whom believe that all whites are evil and made some kind of contract with the devil. (Yes, really.)

Yes. It went very well with Trump. He pointed out traitors from both parties and continues to do that today.
Republicans wanted Jeb Bush in 2016. Another RINO. But the people had had enough.

And today we have total anarchy and destruction. RFK Jr is a sensible democrat but democrats want no part of that. He’s nowhere near woke enough for them.

Yeah, it all went very well with Trump until he decided to try and topple our democracy. No thanks.

Sounds about right
It's like Rioters and Felons getting involved in the BLM movement, culminating in events like Kyle Rittenhouse shooting one White Child Rapist and 2 criminal Anarchist, with 2 dying. Had nothing to do with saving black people lives and was just about angry violent Felons going on a rampage.

Harlan Crow, buddy to Clarence Thomas, is a leading donor.

It may not be as neutral as you're hoping.

I looked into No Labels and very little information as to their platform was online when I checked. (I will check it again.) However, I do NOT like -- or at least I am suspicious -- of the political backgrounds of many of those politicians who are supporting it.

I would, however, love to see two MODERATES on the ballot, and I don't care what party they are from. (I still keep hoping that Tulsi Gabbard will run again.)

The left extremism includes much more violence and government, media, and academia endorsed racism.

Still Liberal as ever, and insanely tired of woke BS. Can we start a new party or something?

Maybe stop calling yourself a Libby and join Conservatives?

“It all went very well with Trump…..” Can’t believe you admit that. :-)

He didn’t try to topple anything. He has the right to suggest election fraud. You’ll see after the results of these witch hunts. Never suggested violence. Often stated “protest peacefully”. His words. Including on Jan 6.
