A third party in the context of United States politics refers to a political party which is neither of the two prevailing bourgeois parties, the neoliberal Democratic Party and the neoconservative Republican Party. The Democratic Party is lauded in the corporate media as the "party of the worker" and yet has viciously anti-worker policies.
The Railroad Union has called for the construction of a third party, as well as the rejection of craft unionism.[1]
