Does a strict two party system even constitute a democracy? There’s so little incentive to do what the people want when the worst punishment is that you only have to wait until the other party fucks up worse than you did and then you’re back in the game. In the meantime, just sit tight and snipe from the sidelines.
The Republican Party needs to cease to exist for what it’s done. I don’t know how that could happen but I don’t see a bright future for the world if they’re still around when the next Dem President starts to become unpopular.
I have said they need to cease to exist and only the voters can do that. Them not winning even 25% of the legislature should do it. Many folk want to bring something forward over the democrats and I often say we pretty much have to eliminate the republicans first. dems would easily split in that scendario along with likely the greens taking office. actually that would be a good metric. If the republicans were down to just the nuttiest areas then if the greens could hold as much or more than them it would effectively eliminate them as their nuts would vote democrat over republican if the greens were a real threat which would drive the republican party even further down.
