Gerrymandering is like the 'Hatfield-McCoy' feud underscoring the need for third party candidates

Perhaps it is time to consider forming a third political party seriously.
Of late, both parties have failed us miserably. They both spend money like drunken sailors without paying for their extravaganzas. They each blame the other for all the bad and try to take credit for all the good. They both hide the truth and have given us broken promises.
For instance, Democrats proclaimed that former President Joe Biden's cognitive abilities were good. Really? We saw the debate and other mental blunders with our own eyes. And when Biden said, "We need Congress to help close the border" - well, no. Upon his return to office, President Donald Trump closed the border with Mexico in a flash, in the time it would take to drink a cup of coffee.
Trump 1.0 - Mexico will pay for "the wall." Really? And now, during Trump 2.0, we have tariffs questionable even if done legally - but the verdict is still out on their effectiveness.
Broken promises? Do not get me started on the "Epstein files" that were supposed to be released in full. Americans are not stupid. Even a military-like takeover of Washington, DC, will not work as a distraction. Heck, even starting World War III would not diminish the need to release all the Epstein files without delay (the names of victims being omitted, however).
And now we have Republicans and Democrats doing their best imitation of the feud between "the Hatfields and the McCoys." The hate they hold for each other would only make the father of "hate" smile. For the record, God is love.
Trump and the Republicans in Texas believe that those folks who are registered Republicans and voted that way for a period will always vote GOP regardless of the quality of the candidate. Thus, they would want as many districts that reflect a majority of registered Republicans as possible to give them "automatic" victories in November. Democrats are no better - the latter believe the inverse is true. There is a need for more choices.
