The Uniparty is something most Americans are sick of and we deserve better.
President Trump once flirted with starting a 3rd party though, eventually, he relented because he did not want to split the vote the Republican Party afforded.
Although we are still stuck with the two establishment parties forming a cooperative monopoly, there may soon be a 3rd, viable option—at least for Presidential Elections.
“No Labels” is an organization claiming to represent potentially 60% of Americans—the so-called politically homeless, through attempting to nominate and run a 3rd candidate in Presidential elections.
Democrats are panicking that this is essentially an avenue for President Trump to retake the White House in 2024 and that the “Unity Ticket” pushed by No Labels will negatively affect Biden’s chances in the 2024 election.
Here’s more on the No Labels campaign:

Here’s former Governor Larry Hogan summarizing the Unity Ticket effort:

Trending Politics explains:
‘No Labels’, an organization that bills itself as an insurance policy for the politically homeless, has secured $70 million to field an alternative presidential candidate in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
That’s bad news for Biden who won supporters of previous third-party insurgents by a 30-point margin, according to left-wing think tank Third Way.
No Labels plans to field a bipartisan “unity ticket” in 2024, and reportedly has $46 million pledged or raised for this effort. Manchin is reportedly one of the potential candidates that No Labels is contemplating.https://t.co/kBubAClrbV

A new memo from Third Way, obtained by Playbook, takes aim at the potential “unity ticket” being promoted by No Labels, whose stated intention is to nominate a moderate alternative to extreme major-party nominees as an “insurance policy.” More in Playbook: https://t.co/wmNDRb6gyg

Leftist outlet New York Magazine writes:
In the intervening months it has become pretty clear that Democrats will renominate Centrist Democrat Joe Biden next year, making an “insurance policy” unnecessary, even though Republicans will probably go with a loud-and-proud MAGA conservative.
But now the Centrist Democratic organization Third Way has issued a warning, via a memo published by Politico, that No Labels seems to be moving ahead with its third-party contingency plans — and that move might actually help Donald Trump or some other dangerous Republican nominee.
