Math has a liberal bias

Do you honestly think that the collapse of the Republican Party would lead to single-party rule? I mean, because that pretty much never happens, anywhere, unless steps are take by the dominant party to forcibly prevent the formation of new parties (and I never see any leftists advocating this). In the absence of that, new parties will always form from the corpses of old. The Republican Party formed from the corpse of the Whigs in the 1850s. There's a chance we might even see a drift away from the bipartisan existence we've had to accept forever.

No party is entitled to have an equal say in things. If their politics no longer represent the views of the mainstream, and it's clear that they do not, but they still hold enough power and the willingness to deadlock and regress the political process just because it's all they are capable of, then yes, I advocate the active marginalization of that party.

The views of the mainstream are not what's actually healthy for the country. The mainstream wants low taxes and lots of social services. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see what's wrong with that.

I personally don't think that that the collapse of the Republican party would mean single party rule, but I think that basically people who mindlessly support one party are encouraging that. I also don't think the Republican party is going to collapse. Younger Republicans are more secular, more Libertarian etc. Likely it'll evolve rather than collapse. Also there can only be two major parties in the US, it's just a result of the way our electorate is set up.

I recall a member of these boards saying that Republicans are reluctant to change their position, which basically ignores the entire history of the party.

Ugghhhh, it annoys me to defend a party that I am not a part of, but some people sometimes say some stupid shit, and I doubt they are putting the thought into it that you express there.
