Yeah, you're dead on, and believe me, a lot of us know it, and I hope we do fix it. I'm doing as much as I can I guess, and I promise that there are a lot of other people doing what they can, even if its not publicized like the bad stuff. We'll see if it matters in the end.

The president also pardoned a bunch of domestic terrorists, screwed over our farmers, and undermined our energy security and trade domination, not to mention replacing every federal job he could with incompetent buffoons. I hate that old white guy.

I understand the sentiment (believe me, we agree more on the democrats than we disagree), but unless you've got some guns you're gonna go shoot in DC that's probably not gonna be how it happens.

Otherwise, we cannot get new parties (with legit political power on a federal level) without serious election reform, reform that will only happen from within the current party structure. So while we need new parties in the long run, we've got some work to do for which we are going to have to work with Democrats.

How do you propose they do that? Keep in mind that your proposal must not give up more power to Republicans.

Underrated comment.

I mean, we are way lefter than reddit, and given that the bell curve of intelligent responses is located at about the same place, we probably look a lot further left than we are to liberals and right of there. (i.e. stupid responses and extremist responses look pretty similar.)
