The best way to ensure that the Dems stay in power is to create a three-party system. There are many new entrants into GOP politics this season. Find their campaigns, work in those campaigns and help keep them on a starboard tack.
The primary people pushing the Tea Party to form a third party are leftists for the very reason you state.
They also can’t seem to fathom a bunch of individuals gathering behind a purpose instead of some “leader”.
They are so humanistic that they must have some elite in charge in order to feel comfortable.
