thats why the choices seem to be so extreme..hopefully this will start to change as people get fed up with what is going on now...these idiots in charge are like kids fighting over the pale and shovel in the sandbox.... their respective sides are always right...and the other side is always wrong....and we all know neither is the case.... |
Yeah definitely, I agree with you there, and of course the two party system makes it very difficult if you have views that straddle the party. For instance, we agree on gay rights but disagree on national defense, and there are probably people on this board who disagree with respective stances on national defense but disagree with us on gay rights...
And in the end all the fence-straddlers seem to cancel out and decide that if they want to have any effect they need to align themselves with the side that promotes the causes that are most important to them, and we're back to the two-party system.
