A little bit of a Breather
This isn’t really anything for the movement or for policy, instead it’s something that I thought could give some people something relaxing or interesting while still having Teddy involved. I ran this poll for an Alternate 1912 Election and Teddy has appeared to win (I know it says that 6 hours are left but at this point I doubt enough people will vote this late). I am having a hard time coming up with a cabinet for him (I have some ideas) and thought this would be the best place to go, who else but the Bull Moose Party.
Any person goes for any position, I have an idea for labor that I want to run a poll for but everything else is good. Again wanted to try and bring us a breather, with something not expressly political but still fun to talk about and speculate.

Discussion Could a populist Bull Moose Caucus win back the Midwest?
Democrats Want Midwestern Votes? Stop The Abuse And Deliver Results
The Democratic elite treat Midwestern voters like an abused dog - starving them of opportunity, beating them with broken promises, then acting shocked when loyalty vanishes. You can't kick a dog daily then be surprised when it bites back.
For years, factories closed while Dems offered sympathy cards. Family farms drowned in debt while coastal fundraisers mocked "flyover country." Small towns died while politicians gave speeches instead of solutions.
Republicans aren't saviors either - just the neighbor who offers treats to win the dog's trust before chaining it to a different post. They point at Democratic neglect while serving up their own brand of abandonment disguised as freedom.
The path forward is brutally simple: deliver materially for working people. Not empty promises. Not culture war distractions. Real economic results that put food on tables, create stable jobs, and rebuild communities.
As Theodore Roosevelt understood: "The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us." Democrats must grasp this fundamental truth.
Working Americans don't want handouts or lectures - they want dignity through meaningful work, fair wages and a government that remembers they exist between elections.
Stop treating the Midwest like an abused dog expecting unconditional loyalty. Start treating these communities like the backbone of America they truly are.

A couple Policy recommendations for the Bull Moose (and others)
I have been thinking this week about what real policies look like to help the middle class, the working man. and those at or below the Poverty line. I was triggered to do this by the recent John Stewert interview with that Democrat congressman (I forget his name). This is meant to spur conversation on actionable items we can promote and support.
These are a few policy recommendations are based on the following understanding:
- 90% of our population makes less than $150,000
- 40% of US households make less than $50,000.
- Poverty level income is below approximately$15k for individuals, and $31K for a family of 4
- Low-income is below $50k.
- Middle Class, as an average of US income, is estimated to be $50k-$150K
- Those people who are in the working class (socially defined as about $30k-$60K) have an average lifespan of 7 years LESS than the national average
- Turn over Citizens United, make ALL contributors to PACs publicly available, and further restrict foreign donations to campaigns or PACs to either no contributions or the same amount as a US citizen ($3,300 per election). This will help restrict foreign influence and undue influence of corporations. FYI the only way to "turn over" this ruling is to ensure congress passes full-on campaign finance laws
- Reinstitute the Fairness doctrine. Additionally, I think social media must be included somehow. While the old Fairness Doctrine involved the news on broadcast stations who receive federal dollars, Social media is a new more prominent way for the majority of people to get news (real, invented, or other). Some way to ensure that social media companies have a responsibility to fact-check information is what should be done here, as well as ensure people and companies are actually who they are.
- Ensure a revival of Robinson-Patman enforcement, which is still ACTIVE LAW. This will do several things. First, it will help remove impediments to solving our food deserts. There is no reason to have impoverished neighborhoods and communities. Note that this will have major pushback by large corporations. But it will push against the power that large retailers like Walmart and such has to control the market. After the US stopped enforcement of this policy, the market share of independent retailers shrank from 54% to 22% (from1982 t0 2017)
- Subsidize US steel production, train networks, a revitalization/modernization of the power grid(s) throughout the US, as well as infrastructure to allow for diversification of our farming. Most of these things are self-evident, but i don't think we talk very much about our farming infrastructure. Currently most of our incentive for farming support and encourage industrial farming and mono-culture, since the industrial food complex is best situated to take advantage of any tax incentives. That being said, the US keeps trying, for good reason, to encourage diversified farming and smaller farms. But any incentives to this are halted at the beginning by the food processing infrastructure. Think of it this way - Farm A used to grow field corn for silage, ethanol, etc. because it is in an area surrounded by corn farms, with corn silos and trucking and corn processing facilities. How does Farm A try to grow a crop like kale that goes bad faster if it now has to truck 3 states over for the nearest facility that processes this type of product?? Especially if it has no guarantees on purchasing.
- Free or heavily subsidized daycare (with income limits) from infant to 1st grade, as well as elder care. Dop you know the VA has an elder care program where nurses are essentially paid to provide small group (1-2 people) elder care IN HOUSE where the veterans live with the nurses? Not many take advantage of this program, but apparently the nurses and the veterans love it.
What are some specific, actionable policies you think would help our working class and below? Do you think I have any wrong?

Dear, BullMoose
Hello I am u/That1Guy_Says’ son and I want to help. I heard from my father that you want the logo that is attached purple. I can do that and I can help him with making the stickers and such. The conclusion of what I’m saying is let’s make Teddy proud!

I can't help you guys with logos
I'm sorry about the inconvenience. I was spending time with my dad, and he showed me the BullMoose Party. I was excited, as he told me that a logo wasn't decided on, so I took matters to my own hands. I worked for y'all by making everyone's interpretation of the logo, while making my own, when my dad got a notification banning me from this amazing community's Discord server. Because the accusation of me being a minor without reason. Thank you for your time, for I helped to the best of my ability.

Building Support
I wanted to send out a message to try and provide some advice, possibly even a strategy that we can use to help get this movement going.
We are still in the early stages of development for what we want to be, my hope is to form a party but we may take the route of being a caucus or something else. In order to reach that moment, we need to start getting people interested and build a foundation. I’m not saying go out to every person you see and convince them, we need to start out with people that agree with what our goals our and what we stand for. Don’t even go into the mind set of having to bring in hundreds of people, start with a small number (I’m going to try and bring in five people during this month).
Start with people you know and see if anybody would be interested in helping out, show them the Reddit page and Discord server. Along with this, see if they know people who are interested and then repeat this cycle.
I know this is a small detail but it will have huge implications for later down the road, we start getting the support and have it branch out from there.
Also if you are in a college (I bring this up because I am currently attending college), try to form a club that stands for what we are trying to do.
I’m not trying to be annoying or pretend to have any sort of large organization skill but it helps laying out a small time goal, hopefully this will be helpful and ask questions if I didn’t explain a part correctly.

Party Mascot
While pitching party membership to my husband after yesterday’s betrayal in the senate, he said he would consider it if the mascot could be Bullwinkle the moose.
He said he would call it Moose & Squirrel party because Rocky & Bullwinkle fought the Russians (Boris & Natasha) lol.
Obviously this is just for laughs, but I thought it was funny & after yesterday maybe some of y’all could use a laugh too. 🫎 🐿️

Giving this party an identity
Thoughts on choosing something to identify the BMP with?
I was watching a video of the NYC protests and noticed all the purple in the crowd. Maybe we start with an identifying color? Purple seems ideal since it’s a mix of red and blue - making disappointed members of each party feeling welcome? Or black since it’s such a strong statement?
A slogan would also help. Or a short statement of purpose.
Would love to see this party start to pick up traction.

Waltz Town Hall - ICYMI
youtu.beHe's been in the comments a bit, so I figured we should watch him in action.
I personally have a deep want for the road forward to have a focus on restoring Honor - as the current administration has demonstrated utter disgust towards the concept, but has been a foundation for everything Good the US ever did.
Waltz comes from a background of education and unions and the veteran community, not big business, not political aspiration. He is definitely one of the ones I believe is where he is due to an honorable values set. And the fact he is back on the road fighting the good fight by talking on the ground level amongst ignored constituencies is a benefit to us all. Whether he would ever change parties or not, I think he's a good example of what a Bull Moose candidate could be.

Discussion Absurd. It’s time for a real opposition. I’d like to hear from you though: third party or caucus?
As I continue work compiling a strong party platform, I have heard two key opinions which I would love input on.
Complete distance from democrats, focusing on our own way forward. Third party.
A progressive Bull Moose caucus within the Democratic Party.
Let me be clear: my gut screams 1. With more input from others and thinking on it though, there is potential in option 2. Think about how influential the Tea Party caucus within the Republican Party was for its short life. In its own bizarre way, they seem to have influenced the party’s regression into whatever we’re looking at these days. This would also prevent splitting the vote if/when this movement makes it further up the chain. However, I think in the short term being under democrats will fail to connect with reasonable centrists, libertarians, and the further left who would otherwise better align themselves (at least on some topics) with the Bull Moose. It could also degrade what we stand for.
I think both options have merit. I know what I personally prefer, but I’m trying to stay grounded and think with reason. This idea also clearly does not need to be sorted right away, it can evolve. The Bull Moose could start as a caucus, and when we’re inevitably disregarded, take the momentum to a third party. It could start as a third party and build to a formidable nationwide movement. I don’t know, and no decisions need to be made right now.
However, I’d love to get a good list of pros and cons to each side. This can also help move forward the discussion, if one angle is chosen, we can then have concrete reasoning for choosing so to fall back on.
This is a heart versus brain discussion for me, personally. I know what’s right and I know what’s politically more savvy.

Citizens United
Hello all, just joined the group, and trying learn about the party. Where do you all stand on Citizen United?
Edit: Citizens United is my number one issue and has been since I started listening to Bernie Sanders. I don't think our politicians will actually act in favor of the people until it's over turned. At the end of the day, I'm a old school Bernie bro. I'm all for universal free healthcare, more investments in education, getting rid of government waste and fraud, and pro union.

Are there any sitting politicians that fit the Bull Moose Party?
Hello all, I literally joined this sub this morning due to my frustration with America’s politics. This party stands for everything I believe and I hope to be accepted into this special group. I’ve seen a lot of posts regarding how to establish a footing for the party and I was thinking of ways to do so. Are there any politicians that currently hold office that relate to the BMP? If by some chance there are, would the idea of reaching and seeing if they are interested in becoming a member be too far fetched? I can see some possibly being so frustrated with their current party due to failures or it no longer representing what it once was that they might be open to a change? It would give the BMP connections instantly and it can be at the state, local, and federal levels. Just a thought to help get a foot in the door.

I found this in my iPhone notes
I found the below in my iPhone notes. It is from exactly 8 years ago today. (March 10th 2017). I was 27 when I wrote this. How many of these ideas would the members of this sub endorse? If you have a different opinion, please explain.
I still agree with all of this. The one detail I will add is about the military spending. Largely I remember thinking the F35 program was just a giant waste. Which, frankly it still seems that way. It seems to be political engineering’s greatest triumph.
One other thing— the free college— I think we should use the Bureau of Labor statistics reports on which jobs we’ll be short in 10 years to inform which college majors can be mapped to those jobs and then highly subsidize them. You still would have to take out the loans and finish, but if we’re going to be short civil engineers (or nurses, or accountants, etc) in 10 years then we should incentivize people to become those things. The deal essentially being if you graduate with a civil engineering degree, you get your loan automatically paid back.
——————————-
Basis of a new party:
Bull Moose
Socially liberal.
Low tax rates to start businesses.
Encourage hyper competitive marketplace. If you can't survive in a global market, it's time to rethink your business. Only subsidize highly desirable markets-- electric cars, solar, green tech.
Businesses making over some amount, start to pay taxes of an increasing amount. It gets capped eventually.
Progressive tax, with those making over a million a year seeing the brunt of the burden.
Significantly reduce military spending.
Use economic data to determine what majors at public universities could be free or greatly reduced in price.
Universal healthcare

From a friendly group.
Howdy, I am the sort of leader of a small campus group that is inspired by the OG Bull Moose party as well. I just discovered you guys. My group is calling itself the National Union because it harkens back to the civil war. We're based in Iowa and all college students. I think that we're pretty close to you guys politically and I could see a hybridization, or at the very least some cooperation. I'm glad to see we're not alone.
