How is the Benjamin Franklin Party Different from the U.S. Democrat and Republican Parties?
The Benjamin Franklin Party is different from the Republican, Democrat, and other U.S. political parties, because it is not based on political ideologies. Instead, the Benjamin Franklin Party operates according to the best available science to create and protect the highest standard of living for all Americans. And because science only builds upon proven knowledge, the Benjamin Franklin Party keeps what is already working. Needed improvements are also made in the most efficient way possible, greatly reducing the waste of taxpayer dollars and human suffering caused by government ineffectiveness.

The Biggest Tent of All
“Let each of us range himself on the side which unfurls the ensigns of public good. Faction will then vanish.”
– Benjamin Franklin
The common denominator in the words party and partisan is part. That is because both words come from the Latin root, partis, which means part. And a part is a subset, a division less than the whole. So, in terms of people, party or partisan by definition means “not everyone.”
“Less than everyone” may be how some political parties operate, but it is not how democratic governments are supposed to run. To the fullest extent possible, just governments should always equally benefit all those governed.
At the Benjamin Franklin Party, we are not just for those who are for us. We are for all Americans. We firmly believe in justice, not “just us.” The Benjamin Franklin Party is the not a part-y party. Does this seem idealistic, nonsensical, or naïve to say? Fine, we accept that. The big problems facing America require everyone to be involved. And the solutions should also benefit all Americans.
Democrats and Republicans claim to be “big tent” parties. And they both try to grow their tents by adding special interest groups. But, while tents keep people in, they also keep people out. The Benjamin Franklin Party only has one special interest group: the American people. The biggest tent of all is everyone. The biggest tent of all is no tent.
We welcome you to come join us in the Benjamin Franklin Party’s no-tent tent!
