As American voters voice their exasperation with traditional party lines, the No Labels movement emerges as a beacon of bipartisan problem-solving. Picture this: an America where the lesser of two evils is no longer the default choice at the ballot box. This episode welcomes the esteemed former Governor of North Carolina, Pat McCrory, whose rich experiences within the two-party system shed light on the potential upheaval that a third-party could bring to the political landscape. Together, we scrutinize the historical significance of third parties and debate the viability of a third-party candidate disrupting the upcoming election cycle.The roadblocks facing third parties are no secret, with ballot access and mainstream media narratives often stacked against them. We delve into these challenges, revealing the bipartisan crusade to uphold ballot integrity and the sensible policy approaches that could reshape the immigration debate. Our discussion ventures beyond the headlines to uncover strategies that could pivot key states, and we examine the influential role of independent voters itching for change. The conversation is punctuated with the question of who might carry the banner for No Labels, emphasizing that their current chess move is securing a spot on the board before rallying behind a candidate.In the grand finale, we explore the intriguing possibility of a third-party emerging as a safeguard within our two-party system, drawing historical parallels to leaders who have dared to defy the status quo. Governor McCrory shares his insights on the hurdles an independent executive would face and how a bipartisan coalition could craft pragmatic solutions to the myriad of issues plaguing America. We reflect on the media's influence, the grassroots movement necessary to challenge the political duopoly, and the mission of No Labels to reinvigorate the principles of American democracy for generations to come. Join us for a riveting discussion that's sure to stir the pot and may just inspire your next choice at the polls.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!
There was, a lot, that happened in state politics across the last 12 months: Redistricting fights, budget deals, a landmark Leandro ruling, a primary was delayed, Congressman Cawthorn and Governor McCrory suffered bad defeats, Roe was upended, and neither Medicaid nor sports gambling was yet expanded. In a review of 2022, Rob Schofield and Clark Riemer think back on the year, dole out some coal, and reflect on the departures of three long-serving members of Congress.
