Warning: this is a political rant devoid of any supporting evidence (because lazy). If you agree with me you're alright. If not, probably an asshole .. but there may be one or two exceptions.
Obviously the republicunts want to win every election more than they want to see any particular policy go their way. As the democrats move to the center, republicans fight to prevent achievement of their old policy objectives under democratic presidents. Democrats focus much more on achieving as much policy gain as possible in each and every measure that comes before the congress.
Why have republicunts lost sight of principle in this way? It's because their concept of the public good is too wed to individual exceptionalism. They like stories about the great individual boot-strappers who fight their way to the top by grinding the lives of the many down to the nubs .. and then donate just enough dough toward a library or hospital to get their name put on the side of the building. The opportunity to screw the many for the good of the few is what makes this country great in the minds of republicunts. They require squalor and the gnashing of teeth from the many in order feel fully recognized for their exceptional achievement.
What about third party alternatives? Find a well prepared candidate and we can talk about it. Find such a one with any clear path to achieving anything in the existing political landscape and I'd be happy to sign on. My free and entirely unsolicited advice to dreamers is to start small. Get congressmen and then senators elected to these alternative parties and patiently build up some cred and maybe, someday, you'll get there.
You're welcome.
