With all the division in America these days, and the polarization between the two parties, what would you think of having more viable parties to choose from?
Several other Western countries have multi-party systems, and more than just two parties play a role. It's different, but it works.
What do you think?
What would a party have to look like, for you to support it over Dems or Reps?
The American electorate itself is actually where the most reform is needed. Seriously. In fact, the American electorate as a collective is likely one of the least informed of all nations. In many cases they don't even understand the country's fundamental form of government. It's bad. Almost reality tv...ish. Political football is a fitting term. Our elections are measured with a blue helmet vs red helmet mindset, yet both color helmets are playing on the same team. Democracy has long been weaponized in America. The politicians thrive on the electorate's eagerness to view our elections in those terms. I take no satisfaction in saying that. It's pathetic, in fact. But it is the truth. The problem is compounded by a strong sense of entitlement, a strong willingess to simply be led and a constant erosion of virtue in American society, from which the worst of the worst rise and seek office.
Excellent summary, thank you!! It's embarrassing, actually, and I for one lost patience with those ignoramuses, on both sides. They are a big part of the reason why we're losing our freedom, rights and our republic.
