A third party can't exist in the middle as the bases of both existing parties would tear into it, plus such a bland agenda would not draw enthusiastic support.
The nation is polarized, not homogenized.
Also, if it's successful, are we prepared to have every presidential election determined in the House of Representatives?
That would inevitably have to happen. Nobody would receive a majority of the electoral votes.
Coalition government could work, maybe even well, but people should understand what it entails before embracing it.
One would think that it's incredibly disappointing that with two major political parties, at least one of them would be advocating for freedom and liberty for the people. Instead, what we have is those same two parties doing their utmost to limit or remove those liberties and freedoms, all with the unabashed support from it's base members
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
