This country will always have a two party system. One or both of those partys might change in the future, but there will always be two. Our system forces this to happen. It is the direct result of winner take all elections.

It appears to help keep politicians moderate, preventing wingnuts from either end of the spectrum fron getting anywhere near the levers of power, unlike multi-party parliamentarly systems like Germany or (gasp!) France.

Ronald Reagan was considered a far-right wing radical. We need more like him.

Clinton--whose foul misrule you impliedly admire and praise with your silly, tepid, insipid drivel--was a so-called moderate, as was Carter. You're welcome to both of them.

Yes The electoral was designed to remove the passions of the day and keep us in a two party system.
