Yep. The two party system is a complete disaster. Maybe we should switch to a three party. Or four party. Five or six would even be better. No parties would be best. Now convince the majority (or even a significant percentage) of the Democrat voters to switch to another party and we'll have it made in the shade. It's not any 1-, 2-, or 3-Party system that is the disaster. The disaster is that the citizens of this country allow the politicians to desecrate the Constitution and abuse their power in doing so. Not only do "we the people" allow it, but most either don't care, don't recognize it, or make excuses for it. That's the disaster!

That's the real problem. How are you going to convince the brainwashed dependent populace that independence, individualism and freedom is in their best interest? If we had more parties, how would it be any different? Wouldn't the dependent masses continue to huddle in the most secure liberal parties? Wouldn't the Libertians, Reformers, Christian Right, right-wing conservatives, et al, still be outnumbered, and wouldn't this setup conditions for a complete socialist takeover?
