We have TWO parties? All I’ve seen for the last 10 years is two wolves (the RepubliCrats) and a sheep (the people) trying to figure out what’s for dinner.
I suggest ‘who is for dinner’.
Words do have meaning.
and in this sense,
‘ The divisiveness between Republicans and Democrats seems insurmountable’
The Parties, by their record, are the same. The Reps for a little less taxes, a little less spending, and no robust opposition to the Liberal ideologues radical agenda. The ‘divisiveness’ is about payoffs, paybacks, and whose crony gets more government money.The Repubs can be bitter and snarky but flop when it counts on the big deals.
In terms of operational doctrine, the Parties are the same.
And the voting record shows it. TARP, repeated Debt limit concession and failure and so on.
