I see your “two party system” is working for you soo very well...

Getting mad at me won't help you. The founders created this winner take all, 2 party system with no chance of coalition government. If I could change the system I probably would, but I don't have the power to whip up a constitutional convention and demand some new form of electoral system.

Dropping out of the system and letting others do the hard work isn't impressing anyone. There are those that do it every election cycle and they've never achieved a thing. Heck even Ron Paul and his loopy followers figured out 3rd party's have no chance to succeed here, which is why they are back in the GOP tent. Good grief, even the wacky LaRouchies know this and run as Democrats because of it.

You’re just making stuff up.

What “parties” did the Founders envision?

Seems I recall our first President being very concerned about factionalism and taking steps to crush it.

“Getting mad at me won’t help you”

That’s just it, I’m not mad. In fact, I have no feelings about your opinions at all. They are simply wrong and not worth wasting my freedom dealing with.

I wish you as much slave happiness as possible on the plantation, working hard for your GOPe Massah. It will be limited, but you choose it, so good luck and best wishes.

I choose freedom.

They certainly did not.

Most of their ingenious methods regarding choosing the President, for example, were designed to deal with three and four-way races, which they believed would be common.
