    Have you ever listened to Democrats? The leadership keeps saying that they believe we need a strong Republican Party for some reason.

      They say this because their lobbyists want nothing to change and if the Republicans are too weak, Democrats may actually have to make peoples lives better or the whole charade falls apart.

      Imagine the soundbites if they said they wanted to destroy the opposition party.

        The GOP had a sign that said “we are domestic terrorists.” Can we stop caring what these radicalized disruptors think? Anyone who claims to be a moderate at this point is not welcome in my house none the less would I want to be on the same side as them.

      For better or worse we have a two dominant party system, which totally breaks down when one party decides to go it alone and only advance causes they can win with their votes.

      That is a weak party, so divided internally they don’t dare compromise externally.

      If we don’t have at LEAST two functional parties, it all falls apart.
