I agree with one of the earlier posters, I'd rather have our politicians locked in debate than free to do the unchecked damage they've done over the past few years. As far as party affiliation, that's probably the worst part of politics. People seem to think that they have to choose one, and that all of their beliefs must somehow fall within the definition of the party. I personally agree and disagree with parts of each major party, but our system isn't designed to handle that kind of rational thought. |
Sure it is. It is called a third party, or a fourth party. Libertarians share some views from both sides, and hold the belief that the country should actually be run based on the document that is was founded upon.
The system doesn't fail the people, the people fail the system.
