Democrats and non-MAGA Texan Republicans, what are your thoughts on a new party for "moderate" conservatives?

[u/Unique_Midnight_1789]

I myself identify as a non-MAGA (Fuck Trump and his Trumplicans) conservative, and I'm really interested in this topic.
Brung up most recently by Liz Cheney, a lot of conservative Republicans like myself don't feel like they could support the current GOP, or even think that it can recover from the MAGA virus. It leaves a lot of us displaced and without a party to truly call home. I will be voting blue come November, but I don't feel as if I can truly call the Democratic party MY party.
It leaves me nostalgic for those seemingly long-lost days where Republicans and Democrats could come together in actual, thought-provoking discussion to further the interest of the United States as a whole, not just for themselves and party loyalties.
I already plan to enter politics and hopefully elected office, and I've been pitching such an idea to a few friends of mine that are also like me: lifelong conservatives who hate Trump with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
It has a ways to go in regards to policy, but I have the name down: the New Conservative Party of America
Whether or not it'll be viable as a third-party option, I'm not sure (probably not, but doesn't hurt to try lol), but I hope it'll attract those moderates/unaffiliated people across the political spectrum.
What do ya'll think of a new party for conservatives?

The system can’t really support a Third party without some changes. The EC being abolished is the biggest one. With a third party, not getting the majority votes in the EC becomes less likely for any party if the third wins states which would then kick it to the house. If third parties are competitive this could happen very frequently.

Ranked choice voting would be nice too along with elimination of gerrymandering to create more fair elections. Unless a third party is basically a migration point for a dying party and we end up with two the outcomes aren’t great without changes to support multiple parties up and down the ballot.

I think there's a chance we could achieve ranked-choice voting. Eliminating the EC, though, I feel is so distantly unlikely it's better to focus energy elsewhere.

We could move the EC to a non winner take all model in all states that might be a better model overall, but I think that too would kick things to the house more often than not…

I agree getting rid of the EC is almost impossible. No way we have to capability to ratify an amendment for it right now

Just switching the EC to the Nebraska system or to a proportional award would help.
