The whole bifurcated party thing cuts both ways though. The vast majority of the even slightly progressive people are sick and tired of the Democrats handholding with the Republicans only narrowly being the least appetizing item on the menu. There’s nobody standing for the people. Everybody’s standing for the oligarchs. I’m not saying I would vote Republican ever, But we’ve got to be able to do something relatively better than whatever this is we’re doing now.

The Republicans would split on fiscal versus “morals”. Immorally progressive fiscally conservative party to rapillase the publicans might draw a number of the wealthy Democrats with it.

There are other countries out there that do a better job. And it’s quite clear now that our Constitution does not have the teeth It was designed to have.
