There is no Constitutional justification, or encouragement for us having a two party system. So why do we have this ugly situation?
Two political gangs, the Republicans, and the Socialists (who have taken over the democrat party) divide the political spoils between them, and make sure no outside candidate, or third political party can ever get elected-with a few minor exceptions.
You are so correct.
I remember being at the first Tea Party rally in downtown Portland, Oregon and there was a huge crowd of patriotic people gathered. I was standing at the back of the crowd and ended up being next to some obvious rats who were literally bent over laughing hysterically at the crowd. Then the Declaration of Independence was read over the loudspeaker and they left.
Maybe they aren’t laughing so hard now.
