I’m in favor of many new parties on all sides. And people given the ability to vote for their primary choice and the one from the main party they would be least disgusted with.
Viewing things for the best of the country, we won’t be hurt by having more ideas out there to choose from. We are hurt by two parties having a stranglehold on things.
America isn't Europe. If you like having more than two major parties, move to France.
I don't think non party members should be given a choice in the nomination process. The primaries are for the parties to decide their choice. Public offices shouldn't be like a convoluted sports playoff system. If people want to vote in the primaries they should join a party thet supports their views. Otherwise they don't get a say until election day.
There are inherent disadvantages of the two party system and George Washington warned us about them. But we also don't want the travisty of European politics where the majority party has to make deals with the Green Party or the Socialist Party to make a working coalition to govern. The minority parties are one of the primary reasons that Eorupe has been driven so far to the left.
