Yes, with a two party system this is what we’re stuck with.
To win elections the R party must become disciplined, and loose coalitions must agree to coalesce around the party platform, hammered out and agreed to well before elections. Also, party mavericks must feel the heat for crossing party lines.

I think a lot of people are starting to question the efficacy of this binary choice. A viable third party movement could bring about some potential benefits and choices. More choices is usually a good thing.
Come to think of it, we only have a one party system (i.e., the Uniparty) now so a “third” party would, in actuality, be like having two parties.
